- Mild, sweet flavor
- Tall heads of paddle-shaped, blue-green leaves
- Improved version of Portuguese heirloom
Tronchuda Beira Sea Kale is an improved version of Tronchuda, a Portuguese heirloom that's been grown for hundreds of years and loved for its flavor and ease of culture. Tronchuda Beira is an easy-to-grow variety with a mild, sweet flavor. Tall heads of paddle-shaped blue-green leaves with white mid-ribs are a wonderful addition to soups and stews. It's also excellent sautéed or braised. Because it's more heat tolerant than other varieties, Tronchuda Beira Sea Kale is a good choice for southern gardens. Kale is a cool weather crop and can be grown in the spring or the fall. A light frost improves the tenderness of the leaves. 60 DAYS
