Kale, Dino (Lacinato)

Dino kale, also known as Lacinato kale or Tuscan kale, is a dark green, leafy vegetable characterized by its long, narrow leaves with a bumpy, wrinkled texture that resembles dinosaur skin, hence its name. It has a slightly sweeter and more robust flavor compared to other kale varieties, with a hint of earthiness. Dino kale is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber, calcium, and antioxidants. It is often used in soups, stews, sautés, and salads, and it maintains its texture well when cooked.
