Kale with Sweet Corn

This content was last updated on April 10, 2020

Kale, a cruciferous vegetable and a nutritional powerhouse of a veggie, has a wide range of nutrients and phytochemicals. Kale is often associated with a distinct and often bitter flavor, however, pairing kale with vegetables high in natural sugars like corn and sweet onions creates a perfect balance.
