Kale Tuscan Blue

Kale Tuscan Blue, also called Cavolo Nero, is a must-have for any garden. Its tall, elegant leaves boast a deep blue-green hue and a beautifully crinkled texture. Unlike other kales, this variety has a slightly sweeter, more refined taste, making it a favourite in Mediterranean cuisine. It thrives in cooler seasons and is incredibly resilient, growing well in both garden beds and large pots. Regular harvesting encourages continuous growth, providing a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the season.

This kale is not just an ornamental beauty but also a powerhouse of nutrition. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, it supports a healthy diet while adding vibrant colour to your meals. The plant’s cold tolerance improves its flavour, making it even more enjoyable after a light frost. Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, this variety is easy to grow and rewarding to harvest. Its combination of beauty, hardiness, and taste makes it a staple in any vegetable garden.

Usage
Kale Tuscan Blue shines in the kitchen. Blend it into green smoothies for a nutrient boost or chop it finely for fresh salads. Its sturdy leaves hold up well in slow-cooked dishes, like stews and casseroles, where they absorb rich flavours and develop a tender texture.
