Discover Kale: A Green Treasure for Your Pantry
Looking for ingredients that transform your meals and give you an extra boost of energy? Today we're talking about kale ! This green "superfood," also known as curly kale or "cavolo nero" in other regions, is a jewel of nature that has won over kitchens and hearts with its impressive properties.
Its origins date back to ancient times in Asia Minor and Europe, where it was already valued for its robustness and health benefits. At Sanus Market in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, we are passionate about offering you the very best, and when the kale from our local farmers arrives at the store, it's a true celebration of freshness and quality. We work every day to ensure you enjoy locally sourced products, cultivated with care and respect for the Canary Islands, supporting those who make it possible to fill your pantry with health and flavor.
Varieties of Kale.
There are several varieties of kale , each with its own particular charm. From the classic curly kale, with its deep green leaves and firm texture, ideal for massaging and adding to salads or stir-fries, to the lacinato kale or "cavolo nero," with darker, longer leaves that provide a slightly sweeter and earthier flavor.

Kale in the Canary Islands: Season, Properties and Delicious Recipes with a Local Touch.
Here in the Canary Islands, thanks to our privileged climate, we can enjoy kale for much of the year, although spring is usually an excellent time to find it at its peak of freshness and flavor. Kale is an impressive source of vitamins (A, C, K), essential minerals such as calcium and iron, and fiber, making it a fantastic ally for bone health, the immune system, and digestion.
Its texture is versatile; it can be crunchy when eaten raw in salads (after a good massage with oil and lemon to soften it!) or tender and soft when lightly cooked. Its slightly bitter and earthy flavor pairs perfectly with a wide variety of ingredients.
How to enjoy it?
The possibilities are endless and delicious. From an energizing morning green smoothie with organic spinach, apple, and ginger, to a crunchy snack of baked kale chips, a quick stir-fry with garlic and spices as a side dish, or as the star ingredient in soups and stews.
