Boiling greens

How does this work? If you boil kale for a long time, do ALL the minerals and vitamins flow into the water, or do the solid leaves still retain a lot of nutrients? Does anyone here know?

@Milk-Destroyer A good amount will still be in the leaves. I would chop the greans up finely, blend them or mash them into a paste and put the paste and it's juice into the water.

Great idea, chop/blend finely first before boiling.
As for boiling, i wouldn't do it for too long to preserve more of the heat sensitive vitamins. Then i would do a rapid cool down afterward.

@hwisdom I always thought I would hate it, but it's actually a surprisingly nice compliment to a meaty dish.

@Milk-Destroyer yea its like smth w bitter greens in general stimulating digestion + bile flow as well as lymphatic drainage I think, goes well w anything that has fat, e.g arugula works well in (italian) pizza

@Milk-Destroyer If you want to eat the kale leaf, maybe microwave it and then drizle it in oil and oven it? I think thats the best way to preserve the nutrients.
