Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think this is the same one that's also called lacinato kale and dinosaur kale -- has a bumpy surface. My plants are more than a year old, maybe a couple years old. I trim the tops when they start to flower, and they keep on producing leaves. Most years I sow new ones in the fall or spring, so I have a growing kale patch. My russian kales reseeded themselves in the fall, but the birds ate all the unprotected seedlings.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Here in Oregon, I am able to purchase wonderful Black Kale that is delicious when added to a stir-fry. It almost has the consistancy of spinach when added to a stir-fry, but is a little more firm. It is a lot softer than either green or red kale when cooked. I buy the (ORGANIC) Black Kale whenever I can (sometimes it is all sold out when I go shopping) at the local co-op, because I like cooking with and eating it (sometimes even raw) often. If you have never tried the Black Kale, do yourself a favor and buy some, use it in place of spinach in recipies and you will be pleasantly suprised.
