Nadjie, no, technically kale and kailan are different greens. But they are dark leafy greens, rich in similar minerals and vitamins, I would imagine. They sometimes have kale now at S&R, imported from the U.S., but if you are seeking the healthy benefits of dark green veggies, kailan, broccoli, spinach, etc. should all be reasonable substitutes…

Hi MarketMan, this may be a stupid question but… is Kailan the same as Kale? I’m trying to cook more vegetable dishes and I keep seeing Kale in recipes but can never seem to find them… thanks!

storage periods of fresh herbs may last 7 to 10 days. one thing i noticed, as long as its organic it lasts longer than those grown with chemicals.

maddie,

the best way to store fresh herbs in a fridge is to make sure the herbs are dry, then wrap them in clean manila paper. if u want to recycle your used plastic bags, u can use that but make sure its dry and punch holes to allow the herbs to breath.

Like anonymous paul, I’m not lucky with rosemary. But I see dill a lot in Laguna. Anyway, my brother got 6 pots and transferred planted them in the ground for aesthetic purpose, not knowing how to use them. They can grow to about 3 -4 feet tall. I guess not a lot of people know how to use them. He still hasn’t used them even if I told him it’s great with anything that has mayo, or for steamed or baked fish. He seems suspicious of it, hehe. So, I just happily get from his garden every time i visit.
