Kale - The Super Food.

Is this guy as tough as a Celt?

Kale is a super food and it is growing right here in Igiugig.  It is full of a lot of good nutrients.  All kinds really, but why fill this page up with words like riboflavin?  Celtic people in 600 B.C. were eating this stuff.  Celts are tough and one thing that made them tough was Kale.

The high school planted Kale last Spring in the downtown garden.  Tess took care of the garden over the Summer.  She watered it and spent quality time with the plants including Kale!

The Kale grew big and strong.  We harvested the Kale and Betsy’s elective cooking class made Kale chips.  They mixed the Kale with oil and spices and baked them at a low temperature.  They came out tasting like potato chips, but better because they were locally grown and made by Igiugig No-See-Ums instead of  a factory potato worker from Idaho who hates their life and job.

Super you know who harvesting potatoes

The chips were good.  Celtic good.  The chips were crunchy.  Oh yeh, in the garden we also planted potatoes, lettuce, mustard greens, and radishes.
