Quick and Tasty Grilled Kale Recipe | Click & Grow

Kale’s status has rocketed in recent years. No longer is it an underused, overlooked green. Today it’s recognised as one of the trendiest ingredients on menus around the world. It’s being blended into smoothies, used in green goddess soups and even ‘massaged’ before being  dropped into salads (yes, massaging salad leaves is a thing now!) But long before kale became known as a ‘hipster’ of the vegetable world, it enjoyed legendary status in the Middle Ages. It was considered the ultimate leafy green thanks to the fact it was super easy to grow, relatively frost resistant and a nutritious addition to daily meals.

Much later on during World War II, kale was among several vegetables people were urged to cultivate. One of the key reasons was it’s high nutritional value - ideal for covering nutrient deficiencies during times of rationing. Today, we know that kale is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins A and C. In fact, one cup (20 grams) of kale’s fresh leaves provides 7% of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, 26% of vitamin C and 90% of vitamin K. It also provides 10% of your RDA of manganese. With Click & Grow recently adding Green Kale to our plant pod catalogue, there’s no better time to join the kale revolution! Kale’s flavour is mild and earthy while its leaves have a satisfying, crunchy texture that becomes slightly tender when cooked.
