kale succulent Vates Blue Curled Kale Organic Seeds 1 OunceTHE STORY: Kale comes in many degrees of frill, from broad flat Russian varieties at one end of the spectrum to the undulating, nearly serrated Vates Blue Curled at the other end. It's the kale often used as garnishes but what a waste! It's so delicious and toothsome when braised! Also great in a potato based soup or as part of a stir fry, where its more rigid texture holds its own, never melting away like a less crinkly variety. Plants are compact

THE STORY: Kale comes in many degrees of frill, from broad flat Russian varieties--at one end of the spectrum--to the undulating, nearly serrated Vates Blue Curled at the other end. It's the kale often used as garnishes--but what a waste! It's so delicious and toothsome when braised! Also great in a potato-based soup or as part of a stir fry, where its more rigid texture holds its own, never melting away like a less crinkly variety. Plants are compact but productive--harvest for weeks and weeks.

USE: Plant this cold hardy kale in the late summer for a fall and winter crop, it reliably overwinters in zone 5b and puts on a lot of growth in the spring. A great kale for making kale chips and kale salad, just be sure to marinade with an acidic dressing.
