Do you know Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables out there?

Kale can be used in many different ways in soups, salads, and even as a main course ingredient. It is not very easily available in India. I order online from a grocery store and I am sure if you explore around, you can easily find it.

Kale is rich in Vitamin C, K, antioxidants, fiber and magnesium and low in calories. This powerhouse of nutrition has just 35 calories per cup.

You can use kale to make a salad with other vegetables. Kale chips are a very common dish which can be made by marinating them with simple ingredients like olive oil and salt. To get maximum benefits, you can just bake them. I also make kale parathas which are not only healthy but very easy to make. It is made in the same way as a methi or spinach paratha. It’s important to cook it, boil it or sauté it before using. Avoid eating it raw as it’s not very easy to digest.

Ways to eat kale –

  • Include in the main dish like kale with lentils.
  • Add in soups and salads.
  • Add it to burgers or sandwiches
  • In juices or smoothies

If you are not getting fresh kale, it is also available in powdered form in some stores. Simple add it to your gravies or sprinkle in soups or salads.

Kale grilled cheese sandwich is a very easy recipe which can be made using different ingredients along with kale.

See some other sandwich recipes here. 

I am using mushrooms along with kale to make this healthy sandwich. I also make kale chips sometimes which is a healthy snack in a jiffy. Kale grilled cheese sandwich is a healthier version of a normal sandwich which you can also make with any other greens too.
