Episode description
Kale Raiser: /k?l/ /?r?z?r/ noun. A person who gets in good trouble, using food as a tool.
Host Amber Stott speaks with Kale Raisers across the country. In Season One, we learn what a Chefarmer is, how to use breadfruit to build resilience, and how a recipe for oxtail stew turned into one of the biggest websites around! One Kale Raiser took her experiences as a Black youth in Texas to fuel a career of raising kale. Today, she’s pressuring the federal school lunch program to create racial justice. We also talk to a guy who develops seeds for a living. He shares his mad science experiments with purple peas. His formal, lab-tested methodology for determining taste profiles? “Yuck” and “Yum”!
Do you plant seeds? Raise kids to eat healthy? Read food labels? Eat your vegetables? Then chances are, you’re a kale raiser, too!
