curly kale
Crinkled leafy vegetable
Curly kale is a variety of kale with ruffled, tightly curled leaves and a slightly bitter, peppery flavor.
It's the most common type found in grocery stores, used in salads, smoothies, and as a cooked green.
The curly edges hold dressings and seasonings well but can trap grit, requiring thorough washing.
