Tranquil Tuscan
Behind the Leaf
A nutrient‑dense green grown for everyday use, Tranquil Tuscan features tender Baby Tuscan Kale.

It has milder flavour than mature kale, making it easy to use raw or lightly cooked.

Earthy, cabbage‑like depth with a subtle sweetness and no harsh bitterness. Tranquil Tuscan has tender, non‑fibrous leaves that are pleasant in raw salads and wilt quickly when sautéed or added to soups.
Pairs well with:
- Aromatics: Garlic, chilli flakes
- Dairy: Parmesan
- Acid: Lemon
- Fat: Good olive oil
- Rinse before consumption
- Tender enough to eat raw, but also holds up well to a longer, slower cook. One of the few crops in our range that's suitable for both
- 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.
