It meant that even though at one point TJ's was walking distance from my house, I still had to regularly drive to Whole Foods. <br /><br />Pre-chopped and bagged produce just never tastes as delicious as buying the whole, fresh vegetable (i.e. broccoli, cauliflower, spinach). I can see where it's a convenience for people and it's certainly better than not buying vegetables at all, but I think they're ultimately missing out on the optimum flavor. It sounds like the TJ's bagged kale is no exception.

I hadn't attempted to buy kale from them because I find greens in bags get slimy very quickly anyway and also I read a review of TJ's three-greens mix (or something? It has collards, spinach, and something else) which was a terrible idea since collards take longer to cook than the other two. Yuck.<br />And you were trying to be so good!foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-17047253762259177542011-11-11T16:05:17.538-08:002011-11-11T16:05:17.538-08:00Come to think of it, I bought a bag of this stuff ...Come to think of it, I bought a bag of this stuff this past summer, and didn't buy it again. All those chopped stems were off-putting, and it seemed strangely tough and gnarly. The manager was all excited that TJs was finally carrying kale, but maybe they need some advice.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710373573705518216.post-41287087771755054922011-11-11T14:05:03.198-08:002011-11-11T14:05:03.198-08:00That's too bad about the TJ's bagged kale ...That's too bad about the TJ's bagged kale :-( I was hoping for a better report!<br /><br />The organic kale and my supermarket (Wegmans) has been absolutely exceptional this year and I made this amazing salad with raw kale and cooked grains:<br /><br />http://veganfazool.blogspot.com/2011/10/saturday-salad-kale-and-friends.html<br /><br />I am also a huge "dried fruit in my savory food" fan, so I put dried cranberries in the above salad!<br /><br />Boo to no organic kale at TJ's. Boo!! Here's to hoping I can keep getting my organic kale fix at Wegmans!<br /><br />XOVegan Fazoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119429652469756034noreply@blogger.com
