Care and Harvest

Kale Lacinato grows well with consistent harvesting. Pick baby leaves at 2–3 inches tall or harvest mature leaves by cutting at the base. Plants will continue to grow new foliage.
Taste and Use

Kale can be used fresh or cooked. To use fresh, it is best to massage it to break down fibers and make it easier to eat. It can be tossed in olive oil with salt and baked on a sheet to make kale chips. Steaming it makes for great side dishes or additions to healthy bowls. Kale is also a great ingredient to boost the nutrition of your smoothies!
Origin

Lacinato kale is a long-standing staple of Italian cuisine and native to the Mediterranean region. It’s sometimes called Tuscan kale or dinosaur kale, and it has been used for centuries in Tuscany.
