Chinese Kale Seeds
Info: Chinese kale is also known as kailaan or Chinese broccoli. It is a leafy kale with a deep green colour. It has a similar flavour to European broccoli, but on a rather more refined plant with all parts edible, from the deliciously tender stems and leaves, to buds and flowers. It is very popular in Chinese mandarin cuisine and in Thai cuisine. Blanching before cooking helps tenderize stems and leaves. The young leaves are also used in fresh salads.
