Kale, possibly the trendiest vegetable over the past two years, was mentioned 380 times more often in 2013 than four years earlier, according to Technomic’s MenuMonitor. Source
According to this article, kale, spinach, and arugula, among others are becoming much more popular on menus and moving from side dishes to center stage at restaurants across the country. Demand is so strong for dishes featuring these leafy greens that one restaurant mentioned bought its own farm to keep up with demand. Chefs are generating creative dishes with a variety of ingredients to accompany the greens to the delight of health focused consumers! Hopefully those tasting these great vegetable combinations at restaurants will be inclined to make them at home as well (which is not hard to do!).
