How to de-stem kale and clean leafy greens
Eating hearty, leafy greens such as kale, collard greens and Swiss chard is a great way to add fibre, minerals and nutrients to a healthy diet. As much as we love our greens, the stems can be woody and fibrous – so it's often better to remove them. In the video below, learn how to de-stem kale and other greens, as well as prep and clean them so they can be easily added to your dishes.
