ABOUT
Red kale gives a tray of magenta to purple stems under smooth green seed leaves. The taste is a mild, rounded kale flavour with a slightly nutty, gently peppery finish, and the seedlings are far more tender than mature kale leaves. It is a good choice for people who like the idea of kale but find the grown leaves too tough.
Kale is a little slower than radish or broccoli: it spends 3–4 days in the dark and is ready to cut 10–12 days after sowing. The stems colour up once they reach the light, so give the tray strong light from the moment you remove the cover. On a dim windowsill they stay paler.
Harvest at the seed-leaf stage for the mildest taste and the most tender texture. If you leave the tray longer, the first true leaves appear and the flavour becomes stronger and more like mature kale, so you can choose the stage that suits your kitchen.
IN THE KITCHEN
Red kale microgreens work wherever you would use a mild salad green: as a base for salads and grain bowls, in wraps with hummus and roasted vegetables, on avocado toast and scrambled eggs, or blended into a smoothie. Add them to warm dishes at the very end so the stems keep their crunch and colour. Keep them dry in a closed box in the fridge and use them within about a week.
