Galega de Folhas Lisas (Portuguese Kale Smooth Leaf)

Kale, Cavolo Laciniato Galega de Folhas Lisas. Smooth leaf green kale from Portugal. Plants are very large and vigorous. My Portuguese friend claims it is the best-tasting kale.  A bit more heat tolerant than other kales, for a longer harvest period on either end of winter season. Leaves are large, flat, rounded, similar to collard, but very large and with very prominent white veins, earning some strains a variety name of “costata,” meaning “ribbed.” The leaves are more succulent, and the flavor is more cabbage-like than other kales. The fleshy stems or petioles are enjoyed as well. Definitely an exciting addition to an already illustrious group!
