Nero Di Toscana (Early strain)

A traditional variety from Tuscany, also known as Palm Kale or Black Tuscan. The long leaves are quite deeply savoyed, but not as frilly as curly kale, so much more resistant to aphids and whitefly. 

Normally used as a cooked vegetable, but this has such a nice flavour that we eat the thinnings and baby leaves raw in salad.

Delicious. Sow spring/summer for use late summer through into winter.
