A perfect companion to Blue Curled or Alive Vates and other curly green kales, Curly Roja was the best red kale in our 2017 kale trial. We grew this variety as part of the University of Wisconsins Seed-to-Kitchen organic seed trials. Deeply ruffled, tender leaves with impressive purple stems make this variety a delightful ornamental plant, if you can resist eating it all! If you enjoy green curly kales, give Curly Roja a try you wont be disappointed. Good for stir fries, kale chips, kale salad, pickled kale and more! Curly Roja is vigorous and cold-hardy, so enjoy it into the fall (and perhaps through the winter with adequate protection). Cooler weather in spring and fall make kale leaves taste sweeter.
