Kale, White Russian
(Brassica napus var. pabularia)

White Russian Kale is a tender-leafed heirloom kale closely related to Red Russian, known for its pale green leaves and white stems. This variety is especially valued for its mild flavor and delicate texture, making it one of the best kales for fresh salads. Highly cold tolerant and productive, White Russian thrives in cool-season gardens and becomes sweeter after frost.

Key Characteristics

  • Tender, Mild Leaves
    Compared to many kales, White Russian has soft, thin leaves with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Excellent for fresh salads when young and equally suited for sautéing, soups, and steaming as leaves mature.
  • Beautiful Pale Green Foliage
    Leaves are deeply lobed with light green color and creamy white stems. The elegant foliage adds visual contrast in mixed vegetable beds and edible landscapes.
  • Extremely Cold Hardy
    This variety performs exceptionally well in cold weather and often survives deep into winter. Leaves become noticeably sweeter after exposure to frost.
  • Fast Growing & Productive
    Plants establish quickly and produce abundant harvestable leaves over a long season. Regular harvesting encourages continued leaf production.
