What makes it unique? Is there something else you'd like to know about 'kale'? (5.00 out of 5 stars) 1 rating, 416 likes Sign in to review this food
kale is so rich in nutrients I am tempt to try Kale. but I am Vata and imbalanced too.
just cooking kale is good for Vata or should I add spices to make it more Vata friendly.
which spices ?
Dried Kale chips can aggravate Vata. However, kale cooked until it's soft, with coconut oil, raisins, and ginger will be oily and warm enough to nourish Vata. Bitter taste, as long as it doesn't cause depletion, is actually Vata pacifying because it helps to stimulate and clean the intestines.
How similar are kale and the tender Asian greens like bok choi and tatsoi?
