ABOUT
Black Kale microgreens — grown from the celebrated Tuscan 'Cavolo Nero' — are one of the most visually striking brassicas you can raise indoors, unfurling deep blue-green, slightly puckered leaves on pale, sturdy stems. The flavour is a clean, savoury kale note with a gentle peppery finish: more nuanced than broccoli, less sharp than mustard, and wonderfully versatile. Scatter a generous handful over a warm lentil soup or a soft-boiled egg on toast and the leaves hold their structure beautifully without wilting into mush. With no soaking needed and a harvest window of just 10–12 days, this is the crop to start tonight — especially if you want a steady supply of something genuinely delicious on your windowsill.
