Redbor Kale "Redbor kale can be distinguished from other kale varieties simply by its deep red and maroon color. The Redbor kale has frilly, curled leaves that have deep purple stems and veins running throughout. Some plants are entirely magenta, thought at times, others may have leaves that are tinged with green. Growing between 18 to 24 inches in length, the Redbor kale offers a mild cabbage-like flavor and crisp texture. When cooked it becomes tender and nutty with a mild earthy sweetness." Interesting?

Sea Kale "Sea kale plants grow large in size and form clumps of spreading leaves, averaging sixty centimeters in diameter and seventy-five centimeters in height. The silver-grey, deeply lobed leaves grow in a rosette pattern and have fleshy waved-edges with a velvety texture. Sea kale also bears many small, fragrant, four-petaled white flowers and globular, pea-sized green pods containing one edible, light green seed inside. In addition to the leaves, pods, and flowers, the leafstalks connect to an extensive underground root system that can grow to be firm, starchy, and thick. Sea kale is crisp and chewy with a bitter, green, and slightly nutty taste." Interesting?

Baby Kale "Baby kale is simply the term for the delicate leaves of a young, immature kale plant. Almost any kale variety can be harvested at this young stage when the leaves are more mild and tender, though still hardier than most lettuce varieties. Both the petite stems and leaves of Baby kale are edible, with a chewy yet succulent texture and a slightly peppery flavor, similar to arugula." Interesting?

Premier Kale "Premier kale leaves are medium green, smooth with scalloped edges. The midribs and stems are white and tender. It is popular among market growers for bunching at 4-5″, baby leaf and microgreens. The tender young leaves can be eaten raw in salads, prepared in soup such as minestrone and ribollita, added with pasta, boiled, sautéed, or baked as kale chips. The broad mature leaves are deribbed and usually blanched first, and then sautéed with other, flavorful ingredients such as anchovies." Interesting?
