What it is
This is a convenient blend of pre-washed and chopped kale and beet greens. The vibrant colors of the deep red beet leaves and the dark green kale make for an appealing mix. It is ready to be used in various culinary applications, saving you time on preparation. The greens are typically sold in a resealable bag or container for easy storage and use.
How people cook with it
This versatile blend is perfect for adding a burst of color and nutrients to your meals. It can be easily incorporated into both cooked and raw dishes.
- Added to smoothies
- Tossed into salads
- Sautéed with garlic
- Blended into soups
You can use this kale and beet blend directly from the package. For a quick and healthy side dish, sauté the greens with a bit of olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until they are tender. They also work wonderfully when added to your favorite pasta sauces or stirred into hearty stews during the last few minutes of cooking. For a refreshing option, toss the raw greens with a light vinaigrette and your choice of toppings for a vibrant salad.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole kale or beet greens, this blend offers the convenience of being pre-chopped and washed. The combination of kale and beet greens provides a slightly different flavor profile and texture than using either green on its own, with the beet greens offering a mild sweetness.

How to keep the rest
After opening, ensure the bag or container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Store the remaining greens in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days of opening for optimal flavor and texture.
