Local Indoor Curly Kale Quick Facts

Taste and Texture

Curly kale has a stronger leafy flavour than many soft salad greens. The taste is earthy and slightly bitter when raw, but it becomes milder when cooked with oil, garlic, lemon, butter, soup stock or sauce.

The leaves are frilly and firm, which makes them good for holding dressing in salads and crisping up in the oven or air fryer. The stems are thicker than the leaves and can be chopped finely for cooking, or removed if you prefer a softer bite.

• Frilly green leafy vegetable
• Earthy flavour with a firm bite
• Good for raw salads and cooked dishes
• Suitable for kale chips air fryer recipes
• Can be used in smoothies and green drinks

Curly Kale, Kale Vegetable and 羽衣甘蓝

Curly kale is a type of kale vegetable with ruffled leaves and a firm texture. In Chinese, kale is commonly written as 羽衣甘蓝. It is different from Chinese kale / kailan, which is usually called 芥蓝.

This product is best described as Local Indoor Curly Kale. It is suitable for customers searching for kale vegetable Singapore, fresh leafy greens, salad kale, cooking kale or kale for air-fryer chips.

Kale Chips Air Fryer

Customers often search for kale chips air fryer, kale chips in air fryer or kale in air fryer. Curly kale is suitable for air-fryer kale chips because the leaves crisp up quickly when lightly coated with oil.

To make simple kale chips, remove the tough stems, tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, dry them well, toss lightly with oil and a small pinch of salt, then air-fry in a single layer until crisp. Check often because kale can burn quickly once it starts to dry out.

• Remove thick stems before making chips
• Wash and dry leaves very well
• Use only a light coating of oil
• Air-fry in a single layer where possible
• Shake or toss during cooking for even crisping
• Watch closely to avoid burning
• Eat soon after cooking for best crunch

Kale Cleanser and Smoothie Note

Some customers may search for kale cleanser because kale is often used in green juices and smoothies. This product is fresh curly kale, not a bottled juice, detox drink or cleansing product.

You can blend kale with apple, cucumber, lemon, celery, banana, pineapple, ginger or yogurt for a fresh green smoothie. For a softer flavour, remove the stems and use only the leaves.

How to Use Local Indoor Curly Kale

• Massage raw kale with olive oil and lemon juice
• Remove thick stems for a softer salad texture
• Sauté quickly with garlic instead of overcooking
• Add lemon, vinegar or yuzu dressing for brightness
• Pair with sweet ingredients such as apple or raisins
