Date: January 29, 2009 11:15PM Hi,
I had a big bowl of fresh organic kale today on its own and had avocado and sprouts on the side. After a few mouth fulls of kale my mouth stated to burn, and then i had to stop it was to bad. I added some chopped up oranges to half of the kale and started to eat and it was ok. I also mashed up some avocado and added that as a dressing to the other kale and that was ok to eat. Why was the kale on its own burning so bad ? I had to put a dressing on it (orange or avocado) to be able to eat it. Paul. Re: kale burning my mouth

Eat that which agrees with you. It's pretty simple. Re: kale burning my mouth

I mean, is it like a bitter-beer-face burn, or like a tingly burn. A tingly burn could indicate an allergy. Angie

Date: January 30, 2009 10:17PM Is it organic? If not, it could be the pesticides. My step son gets this same reaction if he eats non organic kale. Re: kale burning my mouth

Date: January 30, 2009 11:45PM it is organic.
I actually washed my kale tonight in salt and water, and let it soak in there for an hour, then i washed it of in cold water. I did have a nice avocado and tomato dressing over it. Well i did not get any burn at all today, maybe the avocado dressing, I do think the salt and water helped. Do they noy spray anything on organic kale ? Re: kale burning my mouth

Date: January 31, 2009 01:11AM unfortunately organic doesnt always mean nothings been done to it .. the laws seem very blurry at times

Date: January 31, 2009 07:15AM My guess is that it could have been high in oxalic acid. Were the leaves a little tougher, eg more mature than usual?
I'm very sensitive to oxalates and feel mild burning sometimes on eating beetroot, and always with Swiss Chard (can't eat it!). 'They say' spinach can be high in oxalates, but, again, it's more mature leaves - I never experience the problem as I eat young spinach only. Basically, the burning is not a problem in 'you' - it's a problem with the food. Thank your clever body for being sufficiently vital to have noticed it. Re: kale burning my mouth

Date: February 01, 2009 02:57PM You could be right, i don't think so though 
Kale in general has 0.02 oxalic acid per 100grams spinach has 0.97 Potatoes have 0.05 lol even more than kale, and im sure squash has 0.03 Re: kale burning my mouth

Date: August 13, 2011 04:23PM I bought some kale today and tried it for the first time, and it also gave me a burning sensation in the nose quite like wasabi/horseradish sauce. Is this what you mean? I felt something was not right. I later checked the bendy wire thing that held the leaves together, and it said mustard greens. I read that mustard greens has a peppery kick, so it made more sense. So I believe I bought mustard greens mistaking it as kale. I checked the pictures, and they both look very similar! haha Hope this helps. Edited 1 time(s).
