Kale 'Nero Di Toscana' - Organic Seeds

Kale 'Nero Di Toscana' is a striking Italian classic that combines exceptional looks with superb culinary versatility. Also known as black Tuscan kale, this heritage variety produces tall, upright plants clothed in long, narrow, heavily crinkled leaves in a distinctive deep blue-green shade. The tender leaves have a deliciously rich flavour that becomes sweeter and more rounded after exposure to cooler weather, making them ideal for hearty winter cooking. Use them in soups, stews, pasta dishes, stir-fries or simply sauté them with garlic and olive oil for a nutritious side dish. Highly productive and valued for its excellent flavour, Kale 'Nero Di Toscana' is as attractive in the vegetable garden as it is useful in the kitchen. Its architectural foliage adds structure to winter planting while providing a generous supply of fresh leaves when other crops are less abundant. Ultimate height: 90cm (35in). Ultimate spread: 60cm (24in).
