To ask wtf this is on my kale?

[Magpiesalute]

I threw another packet away because it had these little bit all over, what are they mumsnet? Are they bugs? Arghhhh!

Not entirely clear, but I'd be suspecting some sort of scale insect.

They look like eggs.

They are little aphids I think.. was it organic kale? I’d be surprised if these survived the spraying otherwise.
homegrown veg gets insect pests and a bit of vinegar in the washing water helps them let go but I wouldn’t be happy to buy a bag of prepped veg like this, they should have been washed off already.

Can you post a photo that’s in focus? They look abit like aphids to me.

Out of focus but looks like aphids. Just wash them off

Aphids=Protein

There’s loads of them so I couldn’t be sure I’d washed them all off. They were also on the kale in my previous packet so i think it’s a sign. Stick to Salt n Vinegar crisps.

I think you’re right 😀

They look like cabbage whiteflies nymphs, but it's difficult to see. I'd take them back

Take them back!
