Why You Should Be Freezing Your Kale

Green leafy vegetables have been known to contain vitamins and minerals that our body essentially needs. Broccoli, spinach, and kale are all great examples of densely packed vegetables that do wonders for our health.

Did you know that by freezing kale you extend its lifespan? So you can get the most out of your kale without worrying about it going bad. If you haven’t been freezing your kale, here are a few reasons why you should start.

Power-Packed Smoothies

Kale contains a high amount of fiber and water which are both great for giving your body the energy it needs. It’s loaded with B and C vitamins that help your body recover from illnesses. Pop some frozen kale in your smoothie and save time by not having to add ice cubes.

12 Month Life Span

Kale can live up to 8 to 12 months after cutting it up (without the stems) and placing it in your fridge. If you want to use it for stir fry or cooked dishes, simply blanch it to bring life back into it. Pat it dry and then you’re good to go. Kale is great for Indian curries and even Asian noodles in lieu of spinach.
