WHAT IS KALE?

Kale, sometimes known as leaf cabbage, is a cabbage (Brassica oleracea) cultivar produced for its edible leaves; however, certain varieties are also used as ornamentals.

 

The leaves of the kale plant are green or purple, and the core leaves do not form a head (as with headed cabbage). Kales are said to be closer to wild cabbage than most farmed Brassica oleracea varieties. It, like cabbage and Brussels sprouts, belongs to the mustard family, or Brassicaceae.


It has the potential to provide a wide variety of health advantages to the entire body. Helping to control blood pressure, improving digestive health, and guard against cancer and type 2 diabetes.
