Forced Sea Kale

These last few weeks we've also been experimenting in the glasshouses, with forced sea kale. In the wild, you'll see it growing along shingle beaches, with cabbage-like leaves and it has a sprouty flavour. We've been starving it of light or forcing it as it's known in the growing world and it's very tender and much sweeter as a result.

Sea kale then forms beautiful large plants in summer, providing habitat and food for insects and pollinators, as well as covering the ground where weeds would normally dominate.

Available this week, add one to your box, toss with a little lemony dressing and add it to a salad. Do let us know what you think!
