Sounds great, Doug!

Does roasted kale keep well?... If so, how?

It's funny that you posted this right now, my sister just told me about this! She said that her 4 year-old jumps up and down when she makes this!! They call them kale chips!! I guess I have to try it now!!! lol

I would say no Tony, just roast them as you need them. They cook quickly.

Thanks, Doug!

I looked up Kale and noticed that it has 5.4 net carbs per cup (chopped) or 8 per 100g (3.5 oz. dry weight).

In my pre-FTS life, I remember how I was with a bag of potato chips.
I could sit down with it, and the bag would be gone in no time!

Thank God, I don't do that anymore.
But as with any food that contains net carbs, measuring BEFOREHAND is essential to avoid getting "carried away".

its also wicked thin tony , a cup of Kale is alot! I agree with you on measuring though,ends the grazing.
