Taste Test Friday
Sweet Kale wins over those resistant to the bitter green
To set its kale salad apart from competitors, Ready Pac swapped sweet for tangy – using a lemon seed poppy dressing that several taste-testers agreed made the otherwise bitter green more approachable. Renaud noted: “I am, in general, not a fan of kale. This was, however, more tolerable than most kale I’ve had because it was bittersweet.” Fleming added that the sweet dressing will help the salad sell well in the US where most people know that kale is healthy, but are turned off by how bitter it is.
