We hope you are enjoying the delicious Kale and Rocket delivered this week!
Handpicked on Monday morning by Kylie and her WOOFER helper. Although not certified, Kylie and her partner Aaron are passionate about growing with organic principals. We were lucky enough to get their first harvest of Kale and Rocket. We will have to wait a few weeks for the next batch, but now they know we want MORE MORE MORE they will get growing!
As the warmer months arrive we also hope to see heirloom tomatoes and other delicious organic goodness from their garden. Next week we will also have Kylie’s herbal tea range (grown on the farm) Lemon Myrtle, Rosemary and Nettle available!
One cup of chopped kale contains 9% of the daily value of calcium, 206% of vitamin A, 134% of vitamin C, and a whopping 684% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.
Kale’s health benefits are primarily linked to the high concentration and excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K — and sulphur-containing phytonutrients.
Carotenoids and flavonoids are the specific types of antioxidants associated with many of the anti-cancer health benefits. Kale is also rich in the eye-health promoting lutein and zeaxanthin compounds.
Beyond antioxidants, the fibre content of cruciferous kale binds bile acids and helps lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
From the Garden to the Kitchen
Here’s a batch of kale, zucchini and feta mini quiches cooked up this morning. You can see half of them don’t have quite the same amount of kale (that’s the fussy children batch). And while I was at it… A batch of banana and cacao muffins. School lunches are sorted this week!
Just find your favourite quiche recipe and add a bunch of chopped Kale!
TIP – Check out the ‘patty’ pans in this picture. I LOVE THEM. They make great ‘small’ size muffins and quiches. The cooked produce comes out super easy and they are SUPER easy to clean too!
