{"product_id":"rainbow-lacinato-kale-seedlings","title":"Rainbow Lacinato Kale Seedlings","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE STORY: \u003c\/b\u003eA cross by breeder Frank Morton between the extremely cold hardy Redbor and Lacinato. The majority of the plants have a deep green, crinkled Lacinato-type leaf with a bright purple stem and slight ruffling along the edges. There is a bit of variation from this, some plants are more ruffled than others, resembling the Redbor parentage, others a bit more green, resembling Lacinato closely. When left outdoors once winter hits, about 40% of mature plants turn a deep purple, almost black, as pictured in the slideshow. Plant this variety if you prefer the Lacinato type kales, but want something a bit more cold hardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUSE: \u003c\/b\u003eThe flavor of this kale is sweet and the texture substantial but not too rough. A great kale for steaming and sauteing. The color and flavor mixes nicely with other cold-hardy greens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hudson Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"4-pack of seedlings","offer_id":33980061810733,"sku":"sg_b_070","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/products\/deep_purple_rainbow_671d77aa-d224-41b1-8107-8eac9773b5df.jpg?v=1587333459","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/products\/rainbow-lacinato-kale-seedlings","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
