it's 'kale' which usually causes the person to get a blank look, lol.
Our even dozen kale plants look quite a bit different right now because of continuous harvesting. I didn't think to do that before DW came along. But then, I was not a kale fan in any of that time and only grew them once, that I remember. That year, the huge plants were allowed to grow unharvested until Winter.

DW picked some more leaves off the current scrawny plants, yesterday. They do become more tender with frost. What does dehydrating do to the leaves? I can imagine two results: #1 they become like shoe leather, or #2 they are crispy things like potato chips.
