Description

Vates Blue Curled Kale (Brassica oleracea) is a popular, compact, dwarf heirloom variety renowned for its exceptional cold hardiness and striking appearance. The plant forms a low-growing rosette of leaves that are intensely finely curled and tightly ruffled, presenting a beautiful, deep blue-green or slate-grey hue that holds its colour even in frost. This cold-tolerant characteristic is highly desirable, as the flavour becomes noticeably milder, sweeter, and nuttier after being touched by a light frost. Its tender, crisp texture makes it a favourite for fresh consumption in salads, but it is also perfectly suited for cooking in soups and stews, blending into smoothies, or famously baking into highly seasoned, crispy kale chips.
