Nutritional Information
Kale is a nutritional powerhouse. It is an excellent source of Vitamins K, A, and C, and is also a good source of dietary fibre, calcium, and iron. This leafy green also contains powerful antioxidants, making it a healthy and beneficial addition to your diet.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Sow seed directly outdoors 1 cm deep in early spring or from June to early July in rows 60 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30 cm apart to give them plenty of room to grow. Kale is very cold tolerant and its flavour actually develops best after the fall frosts, so you can enjoy fresh kale even in late autumn. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
