Kalettes

It seems these little guys will be (widely?) available this Fall in the US.

I have to say they don't look *that* different from young/baby shoots of kale of different varieties I've seen offered on occasion in Farmers' Markets IIRC...but those would have the longer leaves of kale rather than the round ones here or the tight-packed tiny inner head (like sprouts).

I will have no trouble trying these if and when they show up around here. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like they've hit the stores in these parts.  I'll be keeping my eyes out.

Tempting but the price of seed is crazy.....

I bought a bag about a month ago. They are really good and tender.

My question is do how much do they taste like kale?  I don't care at all for kale, but I adore sprouts.  Teagal?

I jumped in on the Johnnyseed band wagon!!

 

I know they are not cheap.

 

But excited to try them and I have a garden that needs something new in it!!
