Cavolo Nero ( Black cabbage)
Cavolo nero is curly kale's tall, dark Italian cousin. Originally hailing from Tuscany, this black kale, or black cabbage as it is sometimes known, is rich in vitamins and iron. Its robust texture and attractive leaves make it a popular choice with chefs looking for a slightly sweeter cabbage substitute.
Like kale, it is a good source of lutein, vitamins K, A and C and a significant source of the B vitamins. It is also a source of fibre and calcium, as well as containing manganese, copper, iron and many other nutrients.
In season from June to October.
