Even my kids like it this way! It is rather strong-tasting, but worth a try. It is also good chopped up in vegetable soup. I tear it off the stem in small pieces and discard the stems.

I'm trying kale for the first time (growing and eating); hopefully it won't be as strong tasting as collards, which I'll eat, but my husband doesn't like them. At least collards aren't as strong as mustard greens. I grew chard a few seasons back, but we didn't like them very much because they were so tasteless. So after reading about mixing chard in with stronger greens to tone them down, I'll be growing chard again. I remove an outer leaf or two from many plants.
