Ethiopian Kale

Ethiopian kale is not the same species as other kales. It is Brassica carinata, an African green believed to be an ancient cross of a cabbage or kale with black mustard.

Ethiopian kale has a mild flavor that is wonderful in salads and smoothies. No need to cook! The annual plants produce seed in one season, and the light yellow flowers attract pollinators. It can be sown in succession to prolong the harvest. Easy to grow in a wide range of climates.

Sowing Ethiopian Kale Seeds
