This weeks kale is overwintered kale from Food Family Farm Ralphs Greenhouse in Washington state. It will be a bit different than bunched kale as it's the sprouted tops of the plant. Raabs are tender and sweet, because brassica plants produce sugar as anti-freeze during the winter.
Lacinato Kale (also known as Dinosaur) is a kale variety that features dark blue-green leaves with a slightly wrinkled and firm texture. The hearty leaves of Dino Kale are tall and narrow and retains its firm texture even after it has been cooked. It has a slightly sweeter and more delicate taste than the curly kind with its flavor described as deep and earthy, but not so bitter with an almost nutty sweetness.
