Organic 'Green Curled' kale is a classic and generous variety, recognizable by its abundant, very curly, deep green foliage that immediately adds character to the vegetable garden. Appreciated for its great hardiness, it withstands cold, humidity, and cooler seasons well, making it an excellent choice for gardens in Quebec and elsewhere. Its rapid growth allows for early harvests, while providing foliage that remains productive for a long period. In the kitchen, its firm and nutritious leaves are suitable for salads as well as stir-fries, soups, green juices, and kale chips. In the garden, it discreetly attracts certain beneficial insects when left to flower, thus contributing to the living balance of the vegetable patch. Easy to grow, it thrives in rich, fresh, well-drained soil, and regular watering to maintain its tenderness. Watching its curly leaves grow vigorously, even as the coolness sets in, provides a true sense of abundance and food security to the gardener. Robust, decorative, and nourishing, this kale naturally finds its place in a productive, resilient, and vital organic garden.
