This unique heirloom’s thick crinkled leaves are a beautiful deep blue-green that is an absolute standout in the garden. Lacinato has a fine, sweet, full flavor; never strong or overbearing. This distinctive Italian favorite (also nicknamed “dinosaur kale” because of its primeval appearance) is both cold and heat tolerant in all climate zones. You can harvest big delicious bouquets of nutrition-packed, richly-colored leaves for months to steam, sauté, braise or use in hearty soups and stews.
