Simply in Season cookbook describes kale as “a hardy green, [that] can survive severe frost.  It grows in individual stalks and . . . is generally interchangeable with collard greens.”

Storage and handling: When storing kale, remove any extra moisture with a towel and refrigerate in a loosely sealed plastic bag for up to 4 days.  Wash well before eating.
