The best way to enjoy Raw Kale
Kale is a super food that has been shown to lower the chances of 6 different types of cancer. It is anti-inflammatory and is a vitamin rich anti-oxidant, high in vitamins K, A and C. It can be eated raw or cooked. If you have never tried raw kale before, here are some tips:
GIve your kale a masage before eating. This improves the texture and softens the taste.
What you need:
-One bunch of kale with the ribs removed (the big center part) and chopped into ribbons
-A few pinches of fine, sea salt
-Clean hands.
- Add kale and sea salt to a large bowl. (use approximately 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt for every 2 cups of chopped kale.)
- Massage the salt into the kale for 2-3 minutes by simply kneading with your hands, turning, tossing the kale to break it down. (It should be reduced in size roughly by one-third when you are finished).
- Rinse the kale and drain water.
- This rubbed version is ready to use in a salad. Try the Quinoa Kale Salad on our recipe page.

Dear Amy,
Thank you, thank you for creating a wonderful veggie burger! Our family (husband, myself and 5 young children) have given up dairy and are in the process of becoming vegetarian. My husband said he likes meat and wouldn't give it up...but after one taste of the Texas veggie burger and breakfast/black bean burritos, he is open to having meatless meals now! This is very important as he has high cholesterol and triglycerides...also, his fit-looking, active 63 year-old father just had a 5-way bi-pass last November. Our kids like to call veggie burgers "krabby patties" (minus the cheese) like SpongeBob, the cartoon character, orders at the "Krusty Krab" on the TV show. All five kids ages 18 months to 11 years-old like the taste of Amy's Texas Veggie Burger. We wish they came in bulk at Costco so we could serve them at BBQs this summer. Boca burgers from Costco contain dairy and aren't tasty.
Thanks again! Kim Currier

I did buy the Veggie Burgers a few weeks ago, and it's the first of this kind that I truly have enjoyed and just purchased a second box and recommended it to a customer in the store. Thank You.
