Ethiopian Kale
Ethiopian Kale Heirloom Vegetable Seeds
Ethiopian Kale is native to Africa and has decent heat tolerance, although it grows best in cooler temperatures. It is a cousin of both kale and mustards. It's flavor is more mild than both. Harvest as baby greens to eat fresh or harvest longer more mature leaves to be cooked down. They cook just the same as collard greens. Other names for this kale cultivar are Ethiopian Rape, Highland Kale, Abyssinian Mustard, African Cabbage, and Amara Mustard.
