Kale is cool-season cooking green somewhat similar to collard and nonheading cabbage. Kale is also called borecole. "Kale" is a Scottish word derived from coles or caulis, terms used by the Greeks and Romans in referring to the whole cabbage-like group of plants.
Originates from the Atlantic seaboard of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has been used as a vegetable for more than 2500 years and through selective breeding for particular characteristics of the plant, six main vegetables have been produced from this one species.
Ornamental kale is technically the same genus (Brassica) and species (oleracea) as the more familiar broccoli, cabbage, and other cole crops. It is also genetically the same as kale grown in vegetable gardens as an edible green.
The Kale Red Winter, 'Brassica oleraceae (Acephla)', is a rare strain of Kale that has very tender, sweet leaves compared to other kales. Most Kale gets sweeter as the first frost hits. Red Winter, an improved Red Russian Kale, is sweet all the time and it is also very tender.
