                    Spicy  kale stir-fry with  carrot  and broken chili                         

Kale is a highly nutritious leaf. It is best to consume kale raw, in order to preserve its nutrition. I normally make a juice with other vegetables. Kale has a bitter tangy flavor. Cooking it makes this less noticeable. Today I am going to make a stir-fry.

Kale

Kale is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K. minerals and healthy fatty acids. Chinese version of kale is known as kai-lan.
