    I think it’s the “probably” that’s funniest. It makes it sound like it was written by a 22 year old assigned to the produce department. I can picture him in my mind.

    Kale is one of the great 2014 additions to our staple diet – in salads, baked as chips, sautéed and added into pretty much anything we cook … it is a really great way to get loads of great nutrients. Great video 🙂
