Hahn estimates that there are 120 to 150 types of this kale in Germany alone, which differ in the height that the leaves reach, how curly they become, their color, yield, taste, and nutritional content.
– The Italian variety palmizio has a mild taste and decorates salads and other dishes, explains Hahn.
The American variety Champion is bitter but contains many vitamins.
