is kale umami? ive never eated it before
>>21695099Buy some. It's not.
No, it's just disappointing. Spinach is superior.
>>21695099No, that's why you throw in every cured meat you can find and cook it to death.
where the fuck did it even come from? It has the texture of straw and nobody had heard of it until 15 years ago when it devoured the spinach section like some noxious weed.
>>21695099no it just tastes like tough green disappointment
>>21695099Yes, kale has a slight savory flavor, similar to collard, but with extra bitterness and a soapy aftertaste.
>>21695955savory just means "not sweet" though, it doesn't mean the same thing as "umami".
>>21695099Its bitter, good cooked in fats.
>>21695858apparently celebrities starting pushing it around 2010 for some reason.i like it, but it has to be cooked for a lot longer than most recipes say or else like you said it has a bad texture. but if you cook it for hours until it actually gets soft it has a really nice texture and flavor.
>>21695099>>21695100>>21695212>>21695836>>21695858Bitch ass nigga
>>21696180did MPH actually say this? if so I like him even more
>>21695858i saw an anon post about it bein healthier than cabbage, i like cabbageits got a lotta vitamin c like tomatos
>>21695099My rec: buy chopped frozen.The hurdle of chopping it yourself ain't worth it.
>>21696188dunno where to even start with this retarded take of yours
>>21695858celeb and health retards that think eating healthy means eating things that taste like garbage. shit tier vegetable, spinach is infinitely better and has much more cooking and culinary applications
>>21696194kale is good raw but I will agree that it is like eating a sheet of paper
>>21696190chopped frozen kale always has a lot of thick stem pieces in it
>>21696202I've never had that. Been eating the lowest priced frozen kale for years.
Retard cooklets and tastelets alike will dislike kale for its good hearty texture. Kale BTFOS spinach because kale is low in oxalates.>>21696198If eaten raw you must massage the kale and it becomes delicious. Massage the kale until it fully darkens/bruises and it is ready to be enjoyed raw.
>>21695099dark leaves give you kidney stones. cabbage is the king of edible leaves
>>21695099Mildly bitter, among the more nutritious greens you can eat, I like to use it on cooked sandwiches. Chop up some cooked chicken breast, add cheese, onions, kale, mushrooms, put it on a roll with mayo, toast it for a few minutes and it's a great added green to a sandwich. Salad it's good when complimented with another green, I like it with spinach or green/red leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado, red onion, diced up bacon is a good added meat and a quality olive oil and vinegar It's very healthy and can be used in a lot of ways, just know that it's pretty sharp for a green and is a bit bitter and those properties can make it really good is a lot of places.
>>21696180I didn't say kale was bad. It just wasn't worth the hype of its time.
>>21696648Kale is rich in vitamins, you need to balance your greens consumption and eat a lot of different ones so that you can get all the benefits.
>>21696101sour is "not sweet" but isnt savory so clearly your definition is wrong
>>21695099No it tastes like crumpled paper
>>21696180>Bitch ass niggaYou know where I live fuckface
It sucks and it's not healthy at all.
>>21697096I put a lot of ham in my kale, I think it's better that way
>>21695099*eaten, you ESL little shit
>>21696691It is savory, you're just an ESL who doesn't know what "savory" means.
>>21696691Umami is a primary taste and savory is a category of foods and/or flavor. Please learn the difference esl. Thanks.
>>21695099Buy some, slow simmer in chicken broth for a couple of hours with onion and garlic cloves
>>21695099It’s pretty good lightly oiled and baked as “chips”, but otherwise I don’t like it
