Description
A mainstay of Italian cuisine and international fine dining. delivers the best tasting leaves you will ever eat, all on vigorous, high-yielding plants that love a little frost. Even if this kale weren't so delicious, growing the plants would be fun. They're just so bold—the leaves are very long and slender, reaching 2 feet long. Lacinato kale is prepared just like other varieties. Although it can be eaten raw, it is more frequently blanched and then used in soups, stews, casseroles, and side dishes. It holds up well to reheating, keeping both its color and flavor nicely.
