How to Pick
When picking kale, look for vibrant, deep red leaves that are firm and crisp to the touch. Avoid any leaves that are wilted, yellowing, or have brown spots. The stems should also be sturdy and not too thick.
This indicates that the kale is fresh and will be perfect for salads, smoothies, or cooking. If you prefer a milder flavor, opt for baby red kale which is more tender and sweeter. Always choose organic kale when possible to avoid exposure to pesticides and chemicals.
How to Store
Store kale in the refrigerator in a plastic bag to maintain freshness and crispness. Keep it away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas to prevent wilting. Wash and dry the kale before storing to remove excess moisture, and use within a few days for the best taste and texture.
Where it’s Sourced
Our Red Kale is grown in the fertile soils of Victoria and Tasmania, where the cool climate and rich nutrients help to produce vibrant, flavorful leaves packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
