A New Year brings tons of "news".
New goals, new plans, new hobbies and passions and re-newed commitment.
How about a new veggie?
Did you know the last hybrid veggie developed was Broccolini back in 1993? It's been over a decade, but, thanks to Tozer Seeds, a
vegetable breeding company out of the UK, there's a new green on the block.
Love Kale?
Love Brussels Sprouts?
Kale + Brussels Sprouts =
your new favorite green veggie
Cross-bred in England, and introduced to the
US last fall, Kalettes are finally making a real debut. After 15 years of
development inspired by the desire to create a kale-type vegetable that was
versatile, easy to prepare, and good looking, Kalettes have arrived and are
blooming with the best flavors of kale and brussels.
You can prepare Kalettes easily-- try roasting
them (the outer leaves crisp up like lake chips while the stalk stays tender and
mildly sweet!) or shred them (to throw in a salad) or simply sauté in olive oil
to eat alone or to add to your favorite dishes.
You can now find them at Trader Joes (look for
"Kale Sprouts") or in your local produce section. And if you want to
grow Kalettes yourself, seeds will be available for small farmers and
individual gardeners in the near future.
And we thought kale couldn't get any
kooler....
