METHOD:

- Kale’s curly leaves provide multiple traps for dirt, so kale should be cleaned carefully. Wash kale in a deep bowl of cold water, stirring it a bit to release the grit, then lift it out. Pour out the water, and refill the bowl with fresh water. Repeat until you no longer see any grit in the water.
- Then spread the leaves out on a large kitchen towel and roll them up into a cylinder. This dries the leaves.
