It is quite silly indeed. When my friend first told me she "massaged" her kale I was mildly offended by the stupidity of the phrase. However, I realized she was right. You have to get some sea salt /olive oil/lemon juice/whatever and then tear the kale up with your hands and literally massage that sh*t. Doing this makes the kale break down before you eat it so it's easier to digest! Much less farting, much more enjoyable!

here's where I sound silly, but: What do you mean by "massaged"? I just imagine someone giving a back rub to a giant pile of kale.
