Have you asked yourself Why does Water Bead up on Kale Leaves?
We have the answer.
Water is a polar molecule that tries to stick or attach to other materials, Kale has a waxy coating on the leaves which prevents the water molecules from attaching which causes the water to bead up.
This is a good thing in that water when splashed up on the leaves of plants can cause many diseases. Since the water cannot be absorbed into the leaves and rolls off it prevents the disease from attaching to the Kale leaves.
