The Italian beauty, Black Palm Tree or Lacinato kale has a reputation. It is not only the best tasting kale for eating, it has extraordinary longevity in the garden. Be sure to have plenty of good recipes on hand, since you’ll be harvesting the narrow strap shaped leaves of Black Palm Tree Kale from early summer through fall. Heirloom | Landreth Original.
A truly beautiful Italian heirloom that dates back to the early 1800s, Black Palm Tree cabbage is a loose-leafed variety that closely resembles kale. The heads sprout heavily savoyed leaves up to 24 inches in length that are deliciously flavored and work well raw or cooked in a variety of recipes. Very tolerant of cold temperatures, it can actually become more flavorful after enduring a frost. Although the leaves of the Black Palm Tree cabbage can reach 2 feet in length when mature, they can be harvested sooner if desired. Simply pull up from the bottom, rinse in a colander, and enjoy! Or store them in a cool place for later use (36 degrees Fahrenheit for up to a week). Black Palm Tree cabbage is wonderful cooked in soups and stews. Fresh from the garden in all its raw glory, it makes a fantastic salad too. It contains cancer-fighting antioxidants, is a good source of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and numerous other nutrients, and it has the fewest calories and least fat of any vegetable. It's helpful as an anti-inflammatory, and is also known for being great for brain, bone, eye, eye, and skin health.
