Living Without's Favorites: Crazy for Kale

You may not love your greens but who can argue that kale isn’t a powerhouse of super-food nutrients—vitamins A and C, fiber, cancer-fighting antioxidants and more. Our thanks to Tish McCrea, owner of Jungle Treats. This acupuncturist is a health-food nut who realized that dehydrating raw kale makes it crispy, crunchy—and taste good! Plus, kale retains more beneficial nutrients and enzymes when it’s dehydrated than when it’s baked or steamed. Gluten-free Kale Krisps contain a short list of simple, wholesome ingredients that are vegan (no dairy or eggs), kosher and 100 percent organic. This snack is offered in three enticing flavors—Maple Coconut, Creamy Garlic and Cheezy Kale. Available online.
