Kale - Bear Necessities
Brassica napus
About
An unusual ultra-frilly Red-Russian type. Bear Necessities has leaves unlike any other kale as it was bred from a cross between a mizuna and a kale. It's ultra frilly leaves lend themselves to salads when young and are great cooked when larger. The leaves have a high volume and surface area which means they stir-fry particularly well, easily getting coated in delicious flavours and holding their shape.
