Lacinato Kale Seeds aka Dinosaur Kale and Tuscan Kale
Lacinato kale goes by a number of names, including Dinosaur Kale, Tuscan Kale, and Black Kale. It is a member of the cabbage family, but of the leafy variety. A pretty hearty cooking green, the dark, blue-green leaves are ruffled and elongated. Both the leaf and rib of this kale can be eaten, either raw or cooked. The taste of dinosaur kale is relatively mild and can appeal to people who don't typically enjoy kale. It's very easy to grow, likes rich well-draining soil and a little late afternoon shade. Can be grown early in the spring or early in the fall.
