You may not have heard of kalettes, but they are a fantastic winter vegetable that has surged in popularity in recent years. The plant produces a tall stem that is covered in small florets of purple and green crinkly green kale leaves, which are harvested whole.
Kalettes are a simple and attractive vegetables to grow. They also produce long harvests for many months. I grew and harvested kalettes for chefs, who used them as an alternative to Brussels sprouts during the winter.
