Purple Kale
Purple Kale microgreens are a beautiful and nutritious addition to any dish. With their delicate leaves and striking purple stems, they are not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor. The vibrant purple leaves with subtle green undertones make these microgreens a true eye-catcher on any plate.
We harvest our Purple Kale when the leaves are still small, capturing all the intense flavors in each tender, crispy leaf. Unlike older kale, which can be tough and dry, our microgreens offer a mild, earthy taste and a fresh, crisp texture. This makes them perfect for both raw applications, elevating any culinary creation with their vibrant appearance and delicate flavor.
History and Fun Facts
Purple Kale, like other varieties of kale, has been cultivated for thousands of years, dating back to 2000 BC in Mediterranean cuisine. Despite its brief fall from grace during World War II, when it was widely consumed due to its high nutritional value, kale has re-emerged as a modern superfood. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and antioxidants, Purple Kale microgreens offer a powerful nutrient boost in every bite.
Culinary Uses
These young, tender leaves are highly versatile in the kitchen. Add them raw to salads, top your main course, or garnish your starter with them. You can even dry and bake the leaves to create crispy kale chips. Chefs generally love using our Purple Kale microgreens to top off their dishes, as they not only enhance the flavor but also add a fresh, green element to the presentation.
