Also known as Tuscan black kale, Dinosaur kale (or Lacinato) is distinguished by its long, narrow, dark bluish-green leaves with a bumpy texture reminiscent of dinosaur skin. Highly nutritious, it has a mild flavor and tastes even better after a light frost . Ideal for stir-fries, soups, kale chips, or massaged salads, it is as ornamental as it is delicious!
