A traditional Italian kale with high nutritional value
Nero di Toscana is a classic, traditional Italian kale from Tuscany. It is known for its long, dark green, crinkled leaves and excellent tolerance of low temperatures. It is ideal for autumn and winter growing, as it copes with cold without problems and keeps producing over a long period. The plant reaches about 50–60 cm and is harvested gradually by cutting the outer leaves, without interrupting its growth.
Young leaves are especially tender and can be eaten raw in salads, while older leaves are ideal for cooking. It is widely used in soups, sautéed greens and traditional dishes – most famously the Italian ribollita. Its flavour is earthier and deeper than ordinary cabbage, with a balanced character that pairs easily with olive oil, garlic and pulses.
Nutritionally, Nero di Toscana is a very nutritious vegetable. It contains vitamins A, C and K, plenty of fibre and natural plant compounds, and is low in calories – ideal for a balanced, healthy diet.
It is for anyone looking for vegetables with substance, reliable yields and real value in the kitchen. Nero di Toscana is a tried-and-tested, timeless variety with a long history in Italian growing, and an excellent choice for those who love traditional vegetables that combine toughness, flavour and high nutritional quality.
