🥬 Curly Kale
Flavour & Use
Bold and slightly peppery with a robust crunch. Great in salads, smoothies, or roasted into kale chips.
Care Tips
- Maintenance: Thin to 1 to 2 strong seedlings once sprouted.
- Pruning & Harvesting: Begin harvesting the lower leaves at 25–30 days. You can continue harvesting regularly for extended yield. Just be mindful not to cut off the top of the plant where new leaves continue to form during the growing cycle.
Extra Tips
- Prune/Harvest larger individual leaves as the plant starts to grow to allow the smaller leaves to continue growing.
- The smaller leaves will be sweeter, if you let the leaves get too large they will also get tougher. Regular harvesting helps maintain tenderness and boosts yield.
- Prune leaves that are getting close to the LED's as they will start to form burn marks.
