The choices for vegetables just added a new member! Your local grocer may be offering Kalettes. What is this new vegetable?
It is a cross between kale and brussels sprouts. It looks like a little cabbage with heads that are loose and frilly, green-purple leaves. Kale and brussels sprouts are in the same family, Brassica Oleracea, along with cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. The goal was to create a versatile vegetable that is easy to prepare and attractive. Their flavor is said to be sweet and nutty.
Kalettes can be eaten raw or sautéed, roasted, or grilled.
Kalettes were created in Britain after a decade of research by Tozer Seeds using traditional hybridization techniques.
