How to choose kale with tender leaves
Tender kale has fresh colour, springy leaves and stems that are not thick and woody. Choose smaller leaves for quick cooking and larger ones for soup or roasting.
Storage and keeping
How to keep kale fresh and ready to cook
Kale lasts better when leaves are dry and uncrushed. Trim damaged parts, use a paper towel to catch moisture and keep washed leaves well dried.

Curly kale vs cavolo nero: which is worth buying?
Cavolo nero has flatter leaves and is easier to strip and slice. Curly kale is sturdy and textured. Both become good dinner with enough heat and a little acid.
Cooking technique
Why kale needs more than a quick stir in the pan
Kale needs a short steam or braise before a dry finish. Give the ribs a head start, add a splash of water and do not judge tenderness by colour alone.
