description

Organic 'Lacinato' kale is an elegant, heirloom variety instantly recognizable by its long, dark blue-green crinkled leaves that give the vegetable patch an almost sculptural appearance. Also known as Tuscan kale or Black Tuscan kale, Brassica oleracea var. palmifolia happily combines ornamental beauty, hardiness, and great culinary value. Its dense, textured foliage is weather-resistant and remains decorative for a long time, making it a must-have for aesthetic and productive food gardens. In the kitchen, its leaves offer a mild, slightly nutty flavor, delicious raw when young, but even richer in soups, stir-fries, and stews. Harvested leaf by leaf, it generously extends the season and allows for regular picking as needed. Easy to grow in rich, well-drained soil in a sunny location, it develops beautiful vigor and a strong presence in the garden beds. Highly valued for its nutritional richness, it adds as much substance as character to the garden and to the plate. It is a reliable, sumptuous, and nutritious kale, perfect for gardeners who appreciate plants that are as beautiful as they are generous.
