Kale - Scarlet

Brassica oleracea L.

A fairy-tale-like curly kale variety with a striking purple color and appetizing leaves. This variety is renowned for its positive qualities such as its good taste, ease of cultivation, and frost resistance. Scarlet can even withstand temperatures down to -18°C, which means it can be grown with great results in many parts of the country. In addition to its enchanting appearance, the flavorful leaves are excellent for use in cooking. Purple kale soup with a dollop of crème fraîche or a colorful salad with feta cheese and pomegranate are two wonderful examples of what this lovely variety can offer in terms of food. Another fun tip is to use Scarlet to garnish dishes either as crispy chips or fresh for a softer texture.

In addition to its fantastic taste, the variety is also incredibly decorative in borders and plantings. It can be planted with other flowers and crops, but it also looks incredibly stylish on its own, such as in pots. The beautiful purple curly leaves make Scarlet a lovely addition to any autumn bouquet.

This variety contains lots of flavonoids that act as anti-inflammatory agents and help boost the immune system. It is incredibly nutritious and rich in iron, minerals, vitamin C, vitamin A, and more. In short, a nutritious beauty with many uses!
