Tuscan Kale | Bountiful

Deep dark green in color, Tuscan Kale or Black Kale is one of the Italian heirloom varieties, where it is known as Cavolo Nero. Its flavor is deep and earthy, with an almost-nutty sweetness.

The smaller kale leaves are tender and can be used as a salad green. The bigger leaves are best enjoyed cooked, although they require minimal cooking when compared to other kale varieties as the central rib is not as fibrous. Tusan Kale may be steamed, braised, stewed, fried, sautéed, juiced and even baked like a chip. It is well complemented by combination of garlic, sesame, soy sauce and ginger. It is also great in hardy soups which contain smoked meats, potatoes, beans or barley. 

Low in calories, Tuscan Kale offers vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, and potassium. It is said Tuscan Kale stimulates the immune system and can help in preventing certain types of cancer. Juiced Tuscan Kale is claimed to be helpful for arthritis, gastric ulcers, depression, and gout.

All fresh herbs and vegetables by Bountiful are grown locally and without pesticides.
