Given the background description of some cooking related query, summarize the question into a title

I like to bake, fry, cook and make salads out of dark green parts of the kale. But when I get to the middle of the kale, I don't like those whiteish bright parts, just not tasty much imo.I was thinking about blending it in a smoothie but I don't have a blender yet.Any ideas how to prepare those?
What can I do with the white parts of kale?
