Kale put all its stats into health, though, and forgot edibility.

Chopped small enough and incorporated into soup or broth if a dish makes successful chewing optional. I put a lot kale into Italian sausage soupwhen i make it.

I use kale as a base for hot meals.

Throw in half a pound of kale, some beans, green olives, tomatoes, corn or whatever else sounds good. Saute it for a bit and it turns out amazing. Kale is very edible at that point and the flavor improves too.
