Good afternoon and thinking about this as I had a lovely garden salad with baby kale, spinach, beets, some jalapeño peppers and a Vidalia onion with few beers and oil and vinegar. I always loved spinach. Which do you ladies and gentlemen like?
Which do you like more: spinach or kale?

huh? A few beers with your salad sounds good. Just read funny.

Spinach is my choose, preferred it uncooked(raw) but cooked is good too.
I always like spinach. Then I found out how hard it was to digest. Much of the calcium in it is not usable due to binding with oxylates. Switched to kale. It's loaded with more usable antioxidants. It's not that easy to get used to eating though. Popeye never told us about oxylates.
Satinsilver: good catch and I meant a few "beets". Doh!
With the right dressing it makes no difference.
I like both depending on how they're cooked. I think kale that is either cooked in EVOO w/vinegar or steam fried with water is very good. Adding the spices of your choice to either is what makes it.
Kale is near the top food on the micronutrient scale ( along with things like collard/mustard greens, bok choy, and chard ) so I try to include those where I can.

Neither. That stuff is what my food eats.

If it is cooked, I want to be as far away from it as I can.
I agree

Spinach....especially fresh, young garden spinach.
Silverbeet is a staple here, we always have about a dozen plants growing.

for a different taste also try grape leaves. you want the medium ones not baby (too fragile) not too adult (too hard/leathery)
