![]() Vegetable Profile: Kale (Brassica Oleracea acephala) Description: Kale, as the grandmother of Brassicas, is a hardy green that is a reliable producer on our farm. It's enjoyed a wave of popularity over the past two decades, and for good reason - it packs a lot of nutritional punch for an easy to grow, long-season vegetable! Nutrition: Young kale is warming when fresh, and sports a sweet, bitter, pungent flavor. It contains nutraceuticals lutein and zeaxanthin, which nourishes the eyesight. It is an exceptional source of chlorophyll, beta carotine, and calcium. Storage: Kale stores best in the fridge or freezer. Use within 1 week. Use: Don't bother boiling cabbage! It's much more flavorful sauteed, or finely chopped raw or fermented.
