Curly Kale and Tuscan Kale – Different Leaves, Different Preparation.

Kale hasn’t become a rock star vegetable for nothing! It’s super healthy for sure, but it couldn’t have gotten its stardom from that alone. The bottom line? Kale is absolutely delicious, whether you eat it cooked or raw.

But in order to get the best flavor out of your kale, you need to know how to prep it properly – this means getting rid of the kale stems, which can be quite tough.

Also, not all kale leaves are alike. Curly kale has very crinkly leaves, while Tuscan kale (aka Lacinato kale) has flat, waxy leaves. Removing the stems requires different techniques for each variety.

In this video, I’ll show you how to remove the stems from both curly kale and Tuscan kale. These two techniques are so easy, they’ll make cooking your favorite kale recipes a cinch.
