Obsessed with Dinosaurs

Dinosaur kale that is. Most often referred to as Lacinato kale, this leafy green is characterized by broad, dimpled leaves that resemble dinosaur skin. It's also rich in vitamins and minerals, has a mildly bitter flavor and great meaty texture. Ours is mild enough that it shines even in raw salads. We have tons of it right now and will have it with us at the Argenta market opening day April 16.
