Kale as the latest aphrodisiac?

We admit to reading a lot of food blogs, so a catchy title does make an impression. And Jennifer Iserloh’s article in Epicurious certainly caught our attention with her article, ” Kale and Sex Drive?” She actually discusses three libido-enhancing foods in depth: kale, maca, and pumpkin seeds. B-vitamins and zinc are among the factors she cites for their powers.

Irregardless, these are three foods that everyone advocates we eat more of – and that are actually quite tasty – so encouraging consumption for whatever reason does make sense. And who’s to say whether her recipe for Roasted Kale Chips with Pumpkin Seeds might not replace oysters as the go-to appetizer on a date?

And here’s one more question: Does this explain why Halloween has become such an adult holiday?

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t give you a list of kale recipes from the EYB library – check out these online recipes, rated by buzz.
