Blue Curled Kale

Kale is an easy to grow microgreen, with a huge nutritional upside.  In warmer grow temperatures, it typically takes 7-10 days from planting to harvesting, so almost instant gratification.  In cooler temps it may take a couple weeks to maturity, and it will hold another week or two before it begins to yellow out and rot.  Kale will also grow in less than ideal lighting, and just gets a little "leggy".    

 

It's a nutritional powerhouse when grown as a microgreen!  Very high in Vitamins K, C, B6 & A, and also a great source of plant based calcium, lutein, and iron.  One cup of micro kale has as much calcium as one cup of milk.  

 

It has a very mild flavor, nothing like it's bitter mature counterpart, and can easily be added to smoothies, sandwiches and salads for a giant vitamin boost.
