It sounds weird but it's worth it (via basically)

Hot stones. Pleasant scents. Wooden rollers. Deep breaths. Getting that stupid knot out of your shoulder. A massage sounds nice. Massaging kale? That sounds kind of…weird.Great questions. Glad to see you’re so interested in the field of leafy green education. Of all the greens we like to consume, kale is definitely the most stubborn. Not in its opinions on politics or nineties sit coms. We’re talking about its texture.

Working those greens with your hands a bit takes the edge off, and renders them tender enough to eat without cookingNo stems, no problems. Let’s start with the stems. And by start, we mean throw them the hell out. Kale stems are tough and fibrous. We don’t need that. You can slice them out with a knife or rip them out by running you fingers along either side of the stem. It’s less precise, but it works.

Now, we massage. Hit those leaves with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar, and then start crunching them between your hands.. You know what’s worse than tough kale? Mushy kale. Over-massaged kale loses that texture we love so much. Rub the kale leaves together between your fingers, until theystart to wilt. The way to tell if you’ve hit the right point, as it is with most things, is to taste.

. If the kale is getting shredded into thin pieces or chopped to bits, you don't need to work it over before serving it raw—whatever dressing and tossing you're doing already should render it tender enough. Also, if you're going to dress a salad well ahead of time and let it hang out in the fridge, massaging isn't necessary. Acids like citrus juice and vinegar break down the cellulose in kale in the same way that massaging it does.
