A deliciously simple way to have a salty treat that is good for you
Kale has been a "super food" for a few years now, it's so popular that it is hard to believe that at one point the largest consumer of kale was Pizza Hut. It was purely decorative back then, but now we put it to a less wasteful use - and it's good for us! You can air fry kale and enjoy a snack high in calcium. In fact, 100 grams of raw kale has more calcium that 100 grams of dairy milk!
Kale is great in a salad but to be honest I hadn't really given kale a chance until I had it as a chip. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Miami where the chef knew we were vegan and he asked if he could try some things out, we were of course very okay with this. He brought out these fried kale chips and we were instantly hooked.
Why love kale chips?
Kale chips are light and salty, with a crisp that encourages the next bite until you've eaten all of them! But because it's kale, you don't feel bad, instead you get up and prepare some more.
