What is Red Russian kale you ask?
(Brassica napus) (aka Ragged Jack)
Originally from Siberia, brought
to Canada by Russian traders around 1885. One of
the hardiest and most tender of all kales. Beautiful
purple-veined blue-green leaves tinged with
reddish-purple (photo). Frilly leaf margins resemble oak
leaves. Mild sweet flavor.
