How We Grow It

Growing
Information

Kale is a slow-growing brassica that benefits from our controlled hydroponic environment, which prevents the pest and disease pressure that affects field-grown kale. Plants mature in 55-70 days and can be harvested by the outer-leaf method, allowing the plant to continue producing for multiple harvest cycles – improving yield efficiency and reducing waste.

Usage Ideas

Kale is exceptionally versatile - its robust texture handles raw preparations, long cooking, and blending equally well.

Kale Chips

Tear into pieces, toss with olive oil and sea salt, and bake at 150C until crisp for a healthy, addictive snack.

Smoothies & Juices

Remove the tough ribs, blend with apple, ginger, and cucumber for a classic green detox juice.

Sauteed Kale

Wilt in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes, then finish with lemon juice as a side dish.

Kale Salad

Massage raw kale with lemon and olive oil to soften the texture, then toss with roasted chickpeas and tahini.
