KALE
our organic & conventional kale
Kale is a leafy, hearty vegetable that is part of the Brassicaeae family. It comes in a range of colors - the most standard is green (or curly kale), although you can find it in red and black. Black kale is more commonly known as lacinato, dinosaur, or tuscan kale. Depending on the color, you can find kale with curly or straight, loose leaves. Kale has a mild flavor with crisp, slight chewy texture. We harvest this fresh, leafy vegetable for our retail customers.
