A variety of cabbage in which the leaves do not form a head, being nearly the original or wild form of the species.

A member of the same family as cabbage, kale is a dark green leafy vegetable with a distinctive strong taste. The leaves can be flat or curly. The stem and leaves are quite tough and it is a hardy plant - it grows in cold climates where cabbages cannot. Uses: As an accompanying vegetable. It is also included in Indian dishes, where its strong flavour is not overpowered by hot spices. To store: Keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. To prepare: Break the stalks off and cut out any tough stalk from the leaves. The leaves can be cooked whole or shredded.

Kale is a form of cabbage (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. Tender kale greens can provide an intense addition to salads, particularly when combined with other such strongly-flavored ingredients such as dry-roasted peanuts, tamari-roasted almonds, or red pepper flakes.
