Kale Vates Blue Curled
When something hails from Scotland, you know it’s going to be hardy, tough to pronounce and happiest in cool weather. This variety of kale has finely curled blue-green leaves and grows low to the ground. Use a “cut-and-come-again” approach for best results, and trim the inner leaves as they mature.
If you haven’t heard of the kale revolution, your favourite food is probably hotdogs and you still listen to Dubstep. Just joking. (Or are we?). Kale can be baked like potato chips, cooked in traditional dishes, blended in smoothies, added to salads… it’s super nutritious and quite possibly the trendiest leaf on the planet right now.
