"Warning to Kale Lovers: Be Aware of the Imposter in the Produce Aisle If you're a fan of adding a healthy dose of kale to your salads or smoothies, be on the lookout for a suspiciously similar looking leafy green that's been causing confusion at farmers markets and grocery stores. The culprit behind this mix-up is reportedly 'gai lan,' a type of Chinese broccoli that bears a striking resemblance to kale. While gai lan is also a nutritious and edible option, it's essential to identify it correctly to avoid any potential allergic reactions or digestive issues. As the demand for leafy greens continues to rise, it's more important than ever to be aware of the differences between these similar-looking greens."
Next time you're shopping for kale at the farmers market, be sure to double check what you grab - you might grab this similar looking leafy green instead.
