Tronchuda Portuguese Kale Seeds

Portuguese Kale (Couve tronchuda) is the sweetest and most tender of the kale varieties we offer. The leaves look like large collard leaves but with many white veins. They are delicious finely sliced and briefly cooked. Raw foodies also love this variety because of its tenderness.
This kale is a bit more heat tolerant than other kales and so offers a slightly longer growing season. An ethnic and culinary favorite, it is similar to collards in appearance. Its sweet flavor and tender texture lie somewhere in between cabbage and standard kale.
Its bluish-green fleshy, rounded leaves have white ribs. The leaves are traditionally used in soup or steamed. The white stems work well in stir fries or can be braised. Approximately 70-80 days to maturity.
