Palm kale, also known as cavolo nero or Tuscan kale, is a highly sought-after variety thanks to its deep green, wrinkled leaves and rich, earthy flavor. This heirloom kale thrives in various climates, producing robust yields even in cooler temperatures. At Easyseeds.nl, we carefully select and supply high-quality palm kale seeds from experienced European specialists. With its ability to withstand frost and improve in flavor after cold exposure, palm kale is an excellent choice for growers seeking a reliable, nutritious, and visually striking crop.
Palm Kale has long, narrow, dark green leaves with a slightly sweeter and more delicate flavor than curly kale. It is often preferred for its tender texture and versatility in cooking, making it popular in both gourmet and home kitchens.
This variety can be grown almost year-round but thrives best when planted in early spring or late summer. It prefers cooler temperatures and even benefits from light frost, which enhances its flavor.
Palm Kale plants should be spaced about 40 cm apart to allow their tall, elegant leaves to grow without overcrowding. Proper spacing helps improve airflow and prevents disease.
Palm Kale is ready for harvest in approximately 60 to 80 days. However, individual leaves can be picked earlier for a continuous harvest, allowing the plant to keep producing fresh leaves over time.
Yes! Palm Kale grows well in deep containers with good drainage. A pot with at least 30 cm depth is recommended to support healthy root development.
Freshly harvested Palm Kale should be stored in the refrigerator, where it can last up to a week. For long-term storage, it can be blanched and frozen, preserving its nutrients and flavor for months.
