Reviving wilted kale

Y'all know I'm a fan of kale. As dark leafy greens go, it has a mild flavor and a good crunch and lasts longer than, say, spinach, which gets slimy so fast.

As sturdy as it is, often the big bunch of kale in my fridge will begin to wilt after a few days.  Fortunately, wilted kale is easily revived.

All you do is tear the greens from the stems and submerge in cool water. If the water from the tap is not very cold, stick it in the fridge.

After 20 minutes or so, the leaves will perk up.

Then, just lay them out to dry and you've got perfectly good kale again.

I hate throwing out food, and am so satisfied when I can bring wilted greens back to life.
