A bold new green born from the heart of South Chicago by the Urban Growers Collective (UGC). This "Kallard" is an open pollinated hybrid that blends the best traits of Flash Collards and Curly Kale into one powerhouse plant. South Chicago Kallards boast the tender, broad leaves of collards with the rich, slightly sweet flovor and frilled edges of kale. Heat-tolerant, yet cold-hardy, it thrives in diverse growing conditions, producing vibrant, deep-green leaves perfect for sauteing, braising, or enjoying raw in salads.
Grown with care in the City of Chicago's fertile, revialized soils, UGC Kallards are a testament to resilient agriculture and food sovereignty, providing nutrient-dense, delicious greens to urban communities. Days to maturity ranges from 50 - 60 days. Whether harvested young for fresh eating, or allowing to mature for hearty, full-flavored dishes, this mildly sweet and slightly nutty flavored open pollinated hybrid is a standout addition to any garden or farm.
