Kale chips have been around for centuries, but they have only recently become popular as a healthy snack. The first kale chips were made in the early 1900s by farmers in the American South. These farmers would often fry kale leaves in lard or bacon fat as a way to preserve them. In the 1960s, kale chips became popular among hippies and other counterculture groups. These groups were looking for healthy and natural snacks that were also inexpensive. Kale chips fit the bill perfectly, and they quickly became a staple of the hippie diet. In the 1980s, kale chips began to gain popularity among mainstream consumers. This was due in part to the growing popularity of health food stores and the increasing awareness of the health benefits of kale. Today, kale chips are a popular snack food that can be found in most grocery stores. They are a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

Why It Works

• Massaging the kale with the seasonings helps to evenly distribute the flavor and also helps to break down the tough fibers in the kale, making it more tender and crispy.
• Baking the kale at a low temperature helps to dehydrate the leaves and make them crispy without burning them.
• The addition of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper adds flavor to the kale chips without adding any FODMAPs.
