About Boerenkool

Boerenkool, or Dutch kale, is a traditional ingredient in Dutch cuisine, often featured in hearty dishes like stamppot. This leafy green is a variety of curly kale known for its slightly earthy and bitter flavor. Packed with essential nutrients, Boerenkool is a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants that support immune health, bone strength, and digestion. It’s low in calories yet rich in minerals like potassium and calcium, making it a highly nutritious choice. Typically paired with mashed potatoes and smoked sausage in traditional recipes, Boerenkool dishes can vary in healthiness depending on preparation. While the vegetable itself is highly beneficial, added fats or sodium in accompanying ingredients should be moderated. Whether steamed, sautéed, or pureed, Boerenkool offers a versatile way to boost nutritional content in meals while connecting with the rustic flavors of Dutch cooking.
