Siberian is a very hard kale with exceptional flavor that's improved by a light frost! This variety's appearance is attractive with its frilly leaves and blue-green color. Siberian kale, has a finer texture and is better suited for eating raw. Some authorities suggest that Russian kale arose from an accidental crossing between kale and one of the Chinese mustards.
Both kale and collards are exceptionally rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with beta-carotene, iron, calcium, and potassium. As with their Brassica cousins, collards and kale are high in sulforaphane, an organic sulfur compound that appears to have powerful anti cancer, anti-diabetic, and antimicrobial properties.
