I planted some in pots and sadly some hideous little green worms are eating it up. I however planted it in the yard garden where it was less damaged. I picked some of the large leaves and put them on the dehydrator trays.
Not too long into the dehydration process the family started complaining about an awful smell. Let me just say dehydrating kale smells like @ss!! It permeated the whole house and was quite nasty. Future batches will be done OUTside!
After about three hours this was the result.
A friend of mine saw a pint container of this stuff at the store for a whopping $6.99. They also sell it on Amazon and it is expensive!! Kale seems to be very easy to plant and harvest (sans the stupid worms.) No one in there right mind would pay that much for a little bit of kale. Do it yourself!
Here is my first batch. It dried up perfectly in about three hours time. It is very crunchy and you could definitely moosh it into herb or powder size.
Apparently this stuff is really good for you. My thought is I can sneak it into soup or something. The family will never know.
Till next time....
