Great for juicing/smoothies because of its tender texture & mild flavor. This delicious specialty kale comes directly from Portugal where it is a center stage vegetable, beloved for its taste and easy culture. Portuguese kale forms 12 to 18 inch tall heads of paddle-shaped, deep blue-green leaves. This vigorous variety offers long continuous harvests. We find it one of the best tasting, most nutritious greens to grow and enjoy throughout the season.
