Another lovely,
mild, sweet baby green, similar to mustard, arugula and cabbage is kale. I’d
say that in the jungle of micro greens, kale is a true tiger. This super
strong, fantastically nutritious plant packs an incredibly healthy punch.
Honored with the title of superfood, kale produces exceptionally tasty baby
greens called baby kale. In my eyes baby kale is a no1 ingredient in mesclun
mixes so keep reading to see how growing it indoors should be done!
Kale is the King of Super Healthy Greens
Why to Grow Baby Kale Indoors
It’s true that growing kale outdoors
is a popular gardening option since this hardy plant is quite cold resistant
but it is even more true that growing kale indoors is a fun pack for the entire
family.
Speaking of family, my kids just
love to pick a handful of baby kale leafs and pass them to me as I make a
mesclun mix of mustard, radish, lettuce, arugula and kale.
All you need for growing baby kale
indoors are a package of kale seeds, a few pots, potting mix and a sunny
windowsill or some popular
type of artificial light source. My tips for growing baby kale indoors
are the same as for plantingarugula.
What Can Kale Do for Your Health
I could easily rephrase this into,
“Is there anything kale can’t do for your health?” Whether you go for Purple Curly Kale, Red Russian, Siberian Dwarf, or Chinese kale variety, one thing is certain –
kale is loaded with vitamins A, C and K, also containing a respectable amount
of minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and manganese, as well as
fiber and protein.
If all vegetables could turn into
some comic book superheroes, kale would for sure be the first among equals.
