In keeping with the theme of my post last week, today is all about the salty crunch. I typically have two types of cravings: salty or sweet, however lately the former wins most of the time. Now, I could go into the many reasons why your body is craving salt, how it is being used in your body, and the consequences of salt gluttony; however if you want to know more I turn you to the paper The biopsychology of salt hunger and sodium deficiency published in the Pflügers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, and the plethora of papers on salt cravings that can be accessed through pubmed. Today, however, is more about how to satisfy those salty cravings by healthier means than grabbing a bag of your favourite chips. During the summer kale is abundant in local markets, grocery stores, even your backyard, and gives the opportunity to exploit it as a healthy snack. Kale chips are easy to make and can be tossed with a variety of different seasonings and spices according to your various tastes and moods. Also making a bunch does not go to waste, as it can be stored in an airtight container for about 1 week (but trust me, they won't last for that long).
