Kinky Kale

Behind the Leaf

Kinky Kale features tender baby leaves of curly kale, harvested young for a softer texture and milder flavour than mature kale, making it easy to use raw in salads or lightly cooked in bowls, pastas, and stir‑fries. Tender, non‑fibrous leaves with gentle curly edges that hold dressings well.

Kinky Kale is tender and mild, with a faint earthy note. It has earthy, cabbage‑like depth with a subtle sweetness and no harsh bitterness. Pairs well with:

  • Aromatics: Garlic, ginger, chilli flakes
  • Acid: Lemon, lime, citrus vinaigrette
  • Dairy: Parmesan, feta
  • Protein: Soft egg, grilled chicken, tofu
  • Umami: Miso, soy sauce, sesame oil
  • Rinse before consumption
  • Best eaten raw or lightly cooked
  • Blitz into a smoothie, toss straight into a salad, or at the last minute of a stir-fry
  • Raw salads: Massage lightly with olive oil and lemon to soften, then add nuts, cheese, and a bright vinaigrette
  • Warm bowls: Toss into grain bowls or pasta just before serving so residual heat gently wilts the leaves
  • Sautéed side: Quick sauté with garlic, chili flakes, and a splash of soy or balsamic for a simple, mineral‑rich side
  • Soups and stews: Stir in during the last few minutes of cooking for added body and nutrition without tough texture
