what is different about these than buying some fresh kale and grilling it? I have never bought these so I have no idea what they are like

This kale is not heated to the point that the enzymes are destroyed. This is a raw product and retains all the nutrition and enzymes. Other flavors are also amazing, but I have Celiac Disease and I cannot eat nutritional yeast. Before I actually knew that, I could not get enough of the cheese flavor. It is so good!!!These are my favorite out of all the packaged Kale chips I have tried.

These are coated with a mixture of ground-up pumpkin seeds, lemon juice, chia seeds, olive oil, salt - gives them a little more heft than just plain vegetable leaves. They have more "chew" to them than just homemade dehydrated kale chips.

This Kale is not cooked at all - it is still raw. It is also not truly "plain" - it has many other ingredients that I and many others think make it delicious, but some find disappointing as they are expecting just plain kale.

These "chips" are SO much more than the plain kale chips I bake in the oven ! They have chia seeds, pumpkin seeds are lightly seasoned so are even more delicious than plain chips. They are not really plain ! Maybe they should change the name ! Enjoy !

Start with a high temp then reduce. They'll grill fine. I use olive oil on the veggies with other seasonings. As a matter of fact, I used Italian dressing to season the veggies with.

They are much like the solo brand you find in the grocery store. If the item is too hot, I suppose they could melt. I read the reviews, and none of the reviewers used them for anything hot.

No, none. They're well worth the money. Did fish on them last night and sausages on them for lunch today. Are excellent. Buy 'em.

It is like a regular grill. You can grill meat, but vegetables would require a pan of some variety.

I haven't tried that yet. I roll my kale in a tight roll before putting it thru once and it does well

It depends on your zone. Zone 4, no. 5? Possibly. The kale is frost hardy, and cold weather improves the flavor, but a prolonged deep freeze is going likely to kill it.

I'm guessing longevity of product? I've tried making these on my own, but have yet to repeat the quality. There's lots of DIY recipes out there. Until I can make them on my own, they beat 75% of the garbage that other companies offer as "snacks".

No question is stupid except the one you don't ask. Eat everything. It's young and tender; the 'stems' are thin and easily chewed. And the sprouts are extremely nutritious...good for sandwiches and salads, or anything else. Get a head start in the garden, or grow sprouts for Asian cuisine.

I'm just a customer, so I don't know the answer to this question. I do know that they aren't organic(which means they definitely AREN't GMO). Also they aren't truly raw in the common vernacular( they are steamed) and even though they are called "sprout-able" they DON'T ACTUALLY SPROUT. I will not be buying them again.

Wow, that's a great idea, but I have not heard of anyone trying them on the grill.Nancy

It works great with fresh kale! I have only tried spinach in it twice and found that spinach just doesn't have the flavor or amount of juice that I can get from the kale. In other words, it works, but I would save my money and invest in the kale instead... you only need a few leaves of kale vs. several handfuls of spinach.

I don't know anything about the actual process (suggest you ask the seller) but I can tell you they are sweet. I find them best if added to something that is otherwise unsweetened like cereal, oatmeal, salads, etc. I have been buying them for a long time so I'm obviously satisfied.

There is a link to the recipes on their website. I have not looked at them yet. I really like the vegie pasta it makes!

They're thicker than regular plastic baggies, but kind of the same concept, I'd say that they are, as long as you don't put anything messy in them, my kale has lasted so long in them it's pretty great.

I bought them because I've been reading about natural remedies for some health problems and several sources say eating ground up sesame seeds can be good for arthritis, which I have in my knee. I haven't tried it yet but the same information showed up on several reliable sources so I'm optimistic. Plus, I love sesame seeds and I suspect several will end up on home baked breads, toasted to put on grilled fish, etc. I buy a lot of bulk things like these seeds, pine nuts, etc. from Amazon and they are always very good. I hope this is helpful. PS - if you google recipes with sesame seeds you'll find thousands.

None. Last year these turned out to be pickling cucumber seeds. I think it was a poser and not Renee's Garden that was selling on this site. Order directly.
