Kale Emerald Ice Seeds (AGM)
Kale Emerald ice is an exceptionally fine flavoured variety that has the best eating quality of all the kales. The textured ruffled leaves of Kale Emerald Ice develop a striking contrasting white centre as they mature and have the sweetest flavour - even the leaf stalks taste like candy and hold the crispiest texture.
Excellent winter hardiness makes kale a useful winter to spring vegetable at a time when fresh garden produce is scarce. Fresh leaves of Kale 'Emerald Ice' can be picked regularly form October to April Height: 90cm (35"). Spread: 60cm (24").
Now well accepted as a so-called‚ superfood, due to the many health benefits from its very high nutritional value, Kale has enjoyed a surge in popularity as a great way to improve the diet. Often overlooked is its use as a baby leaf, pick the leaves very young and tender for extra-nutritious salads.
