Vegetable box / Gemüsekiste recipe with kale, potato & carrot

Now is the perfect time for kale. Because it’s only when the first frosts set in that this hardy winter vegetable tastes really good. The cold temperatures ensure that the breakdown of sugar in the plant is slowed down. The sugar content increases and the cabbage tastes better.
Brimming with important nutrients, kale is a seasonal superfood that you can enjoy now, and not just cooked. Kale is also delicious and quick to prepare as a salad, pesto or low-fat chips from the oven.
In our weekly vegetable box recipe, it transforms with carrots and potatoes into the Dutch feel-good dish “Stamppot”, a hearty stew. Just the thing for when the weather gets grim.

Kale:

• Calcium for strong bones and healthy teeth
• Potassium, important for the normal function of cells, nerves and muscles
• Iron – responsible for metabolic processes responsible for oxygen transport in the blood
• Vitamin K supports blood clotting
• phytonutrients have a positive effect on moods
• Antioxidants protect body cells from free radicals
• Few calories – perfect for light cuisine
