Botanical Name
Brassica oleracea
Super-charged greens. Often overlooked for kale but studies have shown this dark green leafy vegetable has higher levels of cholesterol-lowering and unique anti colon cancer properties than other cruciferous green vegetables. A large plant with open leaves that is best sown and eaten through the cooler months as the flavour sweetens a little in cold weather. 90 seeds.
