Red Russian Kale

Red Russian Kale

EverydayFresh

Red Russian kale is a nutrient-dense heirloom variety distinguished by its flat, frilly-edged leaves and striking purple stems. This cold-hardy cultivar offers higher tenderness than common curly kale, making it suitable for both raw applications like salads and quick-cooked preparations such as sautéing. Its vibrant leaves deliver concentrated vitamins A, C, and K alongside antioxidants like anthocyanins, with the purple pigmentation intensifying when grown in cooler temperatures.
