What process is used in drying the kale?

Per the label: Our kale powder is gently dried in low heat to preserve its nutrient composition.

Yes it does. One problem with kale is that it flies through the holes above the waste bin. This is easily fixed by placing a moist washcloth over the top of the bin while juicing.

I have not tried Kale, however, the blended does blend broccoli and spinach/lettuce.

It is a mechanical spinner, so you power it yourself. The picture doesn't show it, but the black center circle pops up, you push it down and it pops back up, this motion causes the interior basket to spin. As it spins the water on the salad greens is forced off the greens through the basket and into the clear outer container, it then collects at the bottom. The greens are dry in less than a minute. Just stop the spinner, take off the lid, remove the basket, pour off the water that is a the bottom of the outer bowl and you are done. Sometimes I do a second spin if I want my greens to be really dry. I believe this is the best product on the market, works extremely well and lasts and lasts. Enjoy it.

I find it best to start with a harder veggie like celery than push the kale in. Follow with another stalk of celery to clear all the juice. If you don't want to celery juice, use a separate container for it. I find a mason jar works well to catch the juice.

This Kale is not cooked at all - it is still raw. It is also not truly "plain" - it has many other ingredients that I and many others think make it delicious, but some find disappointing as they are expecting just plain kale.

I'm sure u can dehydrate kale easily. Don't know how they'll come out compared to the oven. Time wise. It really depends, every couple hours you'll want to move the order of the trays and just check the dryness then. You can't really overdo it so it's not a huge deal.

All raw veggies like Kale (include stems), broccoli stems, summer squash, celery, parsley, beet greens, spinach, cukes.Rather than raw carrots, I put some carrot juice in, along with the water.

I have not tried the kale, but the spinach powder works well for drinks. You don't need to use a lot either. I often mix it in with a protein powder. It doesn't taste too bad. If you add fruit or carrots is basically masks the taste altogether.

I do use this for making kale juice. Since it's a manual juicer, it takes a lot more effort than just stuffing uncut kale leaves into an electric model. I take most of the stem off the leaf, don't put more than one leaf in at a time, alternate with cuke or apple, and that works. Don't get this juicer if you don't want a little work out in order to have a refreshing, healthy drink.

There is approximately 1 inch of clearance between trays. I have dried grapes into raisins with no problem. If you try to dry anything with a lot of thickness, you are going to increase the drying time substantially. This could result in the exterior of what is being dried to have a dryer texture than you might want. I have dried curly leaf kale where the leaves had to be slightly pressed down. The result was fine.

Yes, it can handle Kale, as well as anything else you'd want to juice. It's a wonderful juicer.

No moisture sensor, and I have never tried to make kale chips, so not sure.

I use the recommended amount of liquid I de-core the lettuce, rinse it, and shake it dry. It basically stays fresh and green for several weeks. Never cut it with a metal knife. The edges of the coarser pieces may show some brown after a week or so. Break off the brown pieces. The rest of the leaf is still good.

I haven't used kale but I've made several Green Monster smoothies with fresh spinach and apple chunks and the results are awesome.

Hi, Julie - I have not used mine for that, so can't say yes or no --- however, my family makes a LOT of kale salad, & what we have found best for chopping our kale is the Zyliss FastCut Herb Tool that Amazon sells --- we've been using ours for 8 or 9 months, & just love it! It's easy to clean, too! (make sure to put the blade guard back on if you put it into a drawer, tho' - the blades are sharp!
