What Is Kale Powder?

Just as the name implies, kale powder is a dried and pulverized form of kale leaves. While high quality kale isn’t always available in grocery stores, turning to kale powder means you can supplement your diet with nutritionally rich kale whenever you want.
Kale powder comes from kale leaves picked at peak ripeness, and then air dried until they are thin and brittle. Then, the leaves are gently broken up into a light dust that can be added to a wide variety of smoothies, recipes and even desserts (seriously!).
