Vegetable - Kale

Kale belongs to the cabbage family and is renowned for the high amount of fibre, vitamins and antioxidants it contains. Young tender leaves can be eaten raw in salads or added to stir fries while more mature leaves work well in stews and soups. Kale is a great way to incorporate home grown vegetables into your diet when not much else is growing in the garden.

Kale works well in a vegetable patch or planted in a border or window box for ease of harvesting. It is a cut and come again plant, which means you can harvest just a few leaves at a time as needed and it will grow back. Kale can be stored in the fridge for up to 10 days, or you can blanch and freeze it for future use.

If you choose to let the plant flower, the yellow blooms will attract bees to the garden to help pollinate crops.

This 8 cell tray of Kale arrives ready for re-potting into vegetable beds or windowsill planters and containers.
