I had not had kale before filming this - and now I wonder why not?! I just got back from the farmers market where I was able to score the last bunch of kale!! My next challenge is to fix it in a way my kids will love it too. =) I hear you, Rebecca, for I’m in the same boat. I had not had kale before filming this – and now I wonder why not?!

Though Ivy does cook with them (coming up in her demo of twice-baked potato with onions and kale), she says they break down at different rates, so she separates them out from each other.A great idea that goes along with saving them for stock, is to keep a bag of unused stems of various plants - rosemary comes to mind too - sealed up and stored in the freezer for future use. Michele Knaus, who demonstrated how to make Artichoke Pesto, shared this little nugget. She keeps all kinds of tasty bits that weren't needed for an earlier recipe, at the ready for a future soup.

In the video, the farmer went on about the virtues of the stems. But in the text below the video it says to use them for stocks or compost. I usually don't use the stems of kale because they are so hard and chewy. But if they do break down in a sautee maybe it's worth it... or does it depend on the type of kale?
