Top Kale in 5 years
We tried this kale fresh in a salad after frost last year---it is sweet and delicious. Try this prior to frost---I have been doing this for years with kale. Clean and prepare your kale for cooking but before it cooks, put it in the freezer for as long as it takes to get hard.This does not effect the "body" of the kale, but it does sweeten it up.

Love this!
I have not found anything that doesn't taste good with the addition of this kale -- alfredo, soup, quiche, vegetarian dirty rice. I love experimenting with new ways to enjoy this delicious kale. And it is so easy to grow!

Outstanding Kale
I have grown this Kale for 2 years now, and all others pale in comparison. Very winter hardy compared to the others, I have been picking it all winter so far (and it's now February). Not bitter like some others, sweetens after frost, and delicious fresh as baby kale. Makes the best kale chips ever, nice thicker sturdy leaves are great in soups as well.
