Cavolo Nero Kale

KALE: CAVOLO NERO / TUSCAN KALE

(BRASSICA OLERACEA VAR. SABELLICA)

Dark green ‘bubbled’ leaves.

Extremely hardy.

Hot & cold tolerant.

Lends a peppery flavour to salads or used as a winter vegetable.

We love it sauteed in olive oil with a hint of lemon rind or crisped under the grill!

Highly nutritious vegetable ‘dinosaur’.
