Kale is an annual plant grown with a wide range of germination temperatures. Kale thrives in winters and can survive in temperatures as low as –15° Celsius. Reportedly, during World War II, cultivation of kale was encouraged by the involved countries, as the vegetable was easy to grow and provided important nutrients missing from a diet because of rationing. Kale is mostly consumed in countries with extremely cold temperatures like Canada, Norway, Greenland and Russia. Here are a few kale dishes that will make you fall in love with the vegetable:
