Lacinato Kale
Lacinato — also known as Tuscan kale, dinosaur kale, or cavolo nero — is the iconic Italian heirloom with long, narrow, deeply textured blue-green leaves that are among the most beautiful and flavorful of all kale varieties. Its flavor is rich, earthy, and slightly sweet with less bitterness than curly kale, making it wonderful raw in massaged Caesar-style salads, wilted with garlic and olive oil, or simmered into classic Tuscan ribollita and minestrone soups. A stunning plant in the garden and a transformative ingredient in the kitchen.
