Kale ~ Lacinato

An ancient Italian heirloom long cultivated in the region of Tuscany, Lacinato kale is prized for its elegant, deeply textured leaves in shades of dark blue-green. The long, narrow foliage is tender and richly flavored, with a mild sweetness that deepens after frost. Unlike many curled kales, its smooth leaves are especially suited to raw preparations, as well as soups and slow cooking. Vigorous and cold-hardy, this variety performs exceptionally well in Canadian gardens, continuing to produce through the cooler months. A refined and resilient green with deep culinary tradition. 60-75 days, baby greens earlier
