What is Red Russian Kale?

Red Russian Kale has an exotic name and, for a green leafy vegetable, a very different taste.  It has a sweet taste, not bitter like traditional varieties of curly kale.   It can be eaten as baby leaf or fully grown and still maintains its sweet flavour.  Great to encourage the kids to eat their greens!  And, it looks interesting with frilly leaves and a crimson veining.  

I’m Chris Molyneux, a specialist grower of Red Russian Kale, on my 800-acre family-run farm in South West Lancashire.

I have been farming Red Russian Kale for six years.  As a highly experienced grower of 140 acres of traditional curly kale, cavalo nero and red kale – plus the more traditional green vegetables of sprouts and spring greens - I decided to grow Red Russian Kale because of it’s interesting colour and surprisingly sweet flavour; a feature that I noticed appeals to my two young daughters who don’t usually like to eat their greens. 

It is also a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties and anti-cancer properties, so it is particularly good for you too.
