Kale - Worth Eating Varieties

[veg4681]

Kale is my favourite winter vegetable, much nicer than Brussels spourts. We grow dwarf green curled, Cavolo di Nero and Ragged Jack, with the Cavolo di Nero definitely the best tasting one.

Just sorted that Ragged Jack is same as Red Russian and may also be referred to as for Hungry Gap.

It is not a true kale Veg, but a mustard family but most people group it in because of it's winter hardiness.

I grow the dwarf curled. Takes up less space in a garden plot but it's really tasty.

Thanks for all your recommendations...so I can only reckon that these are the worth eating ones then:

Cavalo de Nero
Black Tuscan/Nero di Toscana *
Red Russian/Red Ursa (as in Real Seeds)
Ragged Jack/Hungry Gap
Pentland Brig *
Sutherland Kale *

Those with asterisk are the ones I get to try this year .

Cavalo De Nero is also called Black Tuscan/ Nero di Toscano.

Ragged Jack is Red russian Kale ( perhaps also called Hungry Gap ).

Certain seeds company tend to use new names, check it out before ordering or you will end up with same seeds .
