What is kale?
Kale is a leafy green from the cabbage family (Brassicaceae) — the same plant species as cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Unlike cabbage, it doesn’t form a head: its leaves grow around a central stem. Its flavor is earthy and slightly peppery, with a gentle bitter edge that lemon, olive oil and cooking soften.
Key nutrition
Per 100 g, raw kale provides about 35 kcal. It’s rich in vitamin K and vitamin C, a source of calcium, and provides 4.1 g of dietary fiber.
These are general reference values for raw kale per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central — not a laboratory analysis of 3adan kale. Actual values vary with variety, season and storage.
Why include kale
Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones; vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and fiber is part of a balanced diet that contributes to normal digestion.
Kale contains beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
From tabbouleh and fattoush to soups, omelettes and crispy chips, kale slips easily into everyday dishes — raw or cooked.

From field to bag
Eight stops from the field to the bag to your kitchen. Steps that describe 3adan’s own process are marked as awaiting confirmation, and real photos are on their way.
Kale is a cool-season crop: it grows best in mild weather and tolerates light frost. Each plant grows its leaves around a central stem, without forming a head like cabbage.
Curly kale forms a rosette of ruffled leaves, bright to deep green. The outer leaves are the largest, while young leaves keep growing from the heart of the plant.
Kale is usually harvested by hand, leaf by leaf. The outer, lower leaves are picked first, and the young heart is left to keep growing for the next picking.
Requires business verificationAfter picking, the leaves are checked by eye. Yellowed, torn or wilted leaves are set aside, and the firm green leaves move on to weighing.
Requires business verificationThe selected leaves are weighed into 250 g portions — the net weight printed on every bag.
Requires business verificationEach 250 g portion is packed in the transparent green-and-white 3adan bag, so you can see the leaves before you buy. The label carries the product name, the net weight and the ingredient: fresh raw kale.
Requires business verificationThe bags head out to vegetable stores and retail partners. The list of stores will be published on the “Where to find 3adan” page as each one is confirmed.
Requires business verificationAt home, keep the bag in the fridge until you need it. Just before cooking, rinse the leaves under clean running water, dry them well and remove the thick stems — then massage them for a salad or cook them your way.
Recipes
From kale tabbouleh and fattoush to soups, pesto pasta and crispy kale chips — easy recipes that make the most of every 250 g bag.
Salads
Tabbouleh is the queen of the Lebanese table, and here very finely chopped kale takes over part of the parsley, adding a gentle crunch and a soft, earthy note. The rules stay the same as ever: plenty of greens, just a little bulgur and a generous hand with the lemon.
Salads
No Lebanese table feels complete without fattoush: crisp toasted bread, crunchy seasonal vegetables and a sumac and pomegranate-molasses dressing that is both tangy and gently sweet. Here massaged kale joins the bowl, adding a green crunch that holds up to the dressing far longer than lettuce.
Vegetarian / vegan
Inspired by the way Lebanese grandmothers cook wild greens such as hindbeh (dandelion) with olive oil and garlic, this quick sauté turns a bag of kale into a bright, tender side dish finished with a squeeze of lemon. It is ready in under 20 minutes.
Healthy snacks
Crisp, lightly salted and gone in minutes. With just a little olive oil and a gentle oven, kale leaves turn into feather-light, paper-thin chips — a snack for all ages and a crunchy topping for soups and salads.
Soups
On cold days, few things warm you like a bowl of lentil soup. This one is inspired by Lebanese adas bi hamod — brown lentils, potato, garlic and coriander — with kale stirred in at the end so it stays green and tender, and a generous squeeze of lemon to finish.
Lebanese & Mediterranean
Golden grilled halloumi rolled up with lemony massaged kale, labneh, tomato, cucumber and fresh mint in warm Lebanese bread. It is a quick, satisfying lunch with the flavors of a Lebanese table, ready in about 20 minutes.

How to prepare
Rinse the leaves under clean, cool running water just before using them, rubbing gently with your hands. Water alone is all you need.
Pat dry with a clean towel or spin in a salad spinner — dry leaves hold dressing better and crisp up in the oven.
Strip the leaves off the thick stems, then chop or tear them. Keep the stems — chop them finely for soups and stir-fries.
For salads, massage the leaves for 1–3 minutes with a little olive oil, lemon and salt until tender. Or sauté them, simmer them in soup or roast them.

Kale is a leafy green vegetable of the cabbage family that grows loose, open leaves instead of a tight head. Botanically it is Brassica oleracea, the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi, and it belongs to the cruciferous vegetables (Brassicaceae). Its flavor is earthy and slightly peppery, with a gentle bitter edge. 3adan sells curly kale, the type with ruffled, bright-to-deep green leaves, which you can eat raw in salads or cook in soups, stews and stir-fries.
Yes. Kale is perfectly edible raw, as long as you wash it well first — 3adan kale is sold unwashed. Raw leaves are firm and slightly bitter, so a few simple steps make a big difference: strip out the thick stems, slice the leaves thinly, then massage them with your hands for 1–3 minutes with a little olive oil, lemon juice and salt. The leaves soften, darken and taste milder. Massaged raw kale is the base of salads such as kale tabbouleh, fattoush or a simple lemon and olive oil salad.
Rinse kale under clean, cool running water just before you use it, rubbing each leaf gently with your fingers. Curly leaves trap soil in their folds, so separate the leaves and pay attention to the ruffled edges and the base of the stem. Then dry the leaves well with a clean towel or a salad spinner — wet kale makes dressings slide off and kale chips steam instead of crisp. Do not use soap, detergent, bleach or commercial produce washes. Wash your hands before and after, and wash kale only when you are ready to use it, not before storing it.
Many people taking warfarin can include kale, as long as their vitamin K intake stays consistent and their healthcare professional is involved. Kale is very rich in vitamin K (about 390 µg per 100 g raw), and vitamin K interacts with warfarin and related anticoagulants. A sudden change — eating much more or much less kale or other leafy greens than usual — can make the medicine work more or less strongly. So the usual advice is not to cut these foods out, but to keep your intake steady from day to day and to talk to your healthcare professional before any major change to your diet.
No — 3adan kale is labelled “Unwashed — Wash Thoroughly Before Use”, so please treat it as unwashed and never eat it straight from the bag. Just before use, rinse the leaves under clean, cool running water, rub them gently to remove any soil caught in the curls, then dry them with a clean towel or salad spinner. Do not wash the whole bag in advance, as moisture shortens freshness in the fridge, and do not use soap or produce washes. Washing is a normal step for fresh whole leafy greens and takes only a few minutes.
