Experience the rich taste and impressive history of Lacinato Dinosaur Kale, a renowned variety that's both a visual and culinary delight. Known for its striking dark blue-green leaves with a heavily savoyed texture reminiscent of dinosaur skin, this heirloom kale variety hails from 18th-century Italy, earning the moniker "Tuscan kale." Its robust, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor is less bitter than other kales, making it a favorite for raw and cooked dishes alike. Whether you're tossing it into salads, juicing it for a nutritious drink, or incorporating it into soups, stews, or stir fries, Lacinato Kale's versatility shines. Remarkably nutritious, it offers abundant vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting health benefits such as lowering cholesterol, fighting cancer, and reducing inflammation. This cold-hardy plant sweetens with frost, rewarding gardeners with enhanced flavor after cool nights. Known for its legendary ties to Thomas Jefferson’s garden, it’s a striking and nutritious addition to any garden and plate.
