Good to know
  • Flatter, puckered leaf structure makes it significantly easier to wash and chop than heavily curled kale varieties
  • Exceptionally tender texture and mild, nutty flavor make it the preferred kale for raw massaged salads and gourmet cooking
  • Stately, palm-like architectural habit adds high ornamental value to edible landscapes and garden beds
  • Slightly less heat-tolerant than dwarf curly varieties; leaves can become somewhat tough during intense midsummer heat spells
  • Like all brassicas, young leaves require protection (such as floating row covers) against cabbage white butterfly larvae and flea beetles early in the season
