How To Clean Kale Before Freezing It
The best way to clean kale is to use a simple, gentle, and natural solution made of water and vinegar.
Equipment
- White vinegar
- A big bowl
- A tablespoon
- A colander/strainer
- A cutting board
- A chef's knife
- 2 clean towels
Instructions
- Separate the kale leaves.
- Fill a big bowl with water and add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
- Put the kale in the bowl. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
- Use your hands to remove the kale from the bowl and place it into a colander/strainer. Rinse it under running water.
- Place the kale leaves flat on a towel and pat them dry with another clean cloth.
- Trim off the ends of the kale stems (about 1/4 inch or 1cm).
- Cut off the rest of the stem from each kale leaf. Chop the stems into 1 inch (2.5cm) pieces.
