How to use it
Tuscan kale tolerates frost and often develops a sweeter flavor after exposure to cold, as the low temperatures convert starch into sugars in the leaves. Therefore, it is well suited as a winter vegetable.
Palm kale is versatile and widely used in cooking.
Common use in soups, pasta and rice dishes, sautéed with olive oil and garlic, salads (often massaged with oil to soften the leaves), baked as kale chips and in smoothies or green juices.
Palm kale is highly nutritious and contains:
- Vitamins A, C, and K
- Calcium
