Sweet Potato Kale Pizza
l Switch language for recipe in French l
Do you know kale ? This is a variety of cabbage that you will easily find in organic store. It drives crazy Americans and Australians and begins to be quite active in France . It is an ancient variety of cabbage that you can find in large leaves and had been somewhat neglected. It came back in force to our stalls thanks to its nutritional properties . Kale contains more vitamin C than an orange and more calcium than a glass of milk! The Anglo-Saxons integrated the kale in many of their preparation: salads, soups but also in extra vitamin smoothies !
I discovered the kale in Australia, in salads and on “healthy ” pizza ! So I decided to reproduce these pizzas when ” Oh happiness,” I found this in my organic shop! I do not specify in the list of ingredients below but all products are obviously organic 😉
