Kale-Purple Curly

*One bunch of Curly Purple Kale = 1 Qty.

Kale or leaf cabbage are certain varieties of cabbage grown for their edible leaves. A kale plant does not form a head and has green or purple leaves. Kale is thought to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of Brassica (greens in the cabbage family).

Purple kale has deep purple stems and purple-green leaves. Though the tender young kale leaves are suitable for fresh use, the larger leaves have the best flavor and texture after cooking. Purple kale responds well to steaming as it tenderizes the leaves without compromising the color or taste of the vegetable. Use purple kale as you would regular kale in your favorite recipes.

Kale is packed with nutrients and is one of the world’s healthiest foods. It contains nutrients that support healthy, hair, skin, and bones. The fiber content improves digestion and helps with cardiovascular health. Has more nutritional value than spinach. Kale may help improve blood glucose management in diabetes, reduce blood pressure, lower the risk of cancer, and aid in preventing the development of asthma.
