Why choose Red Russian?

• Unique appearance: flat leaves with red-purple veins that add visual character to your dishes.
• Balanced taste: a slightly fresh, cabbage-like sweetness, ideal both raw and cooked.
• Culinary versatility: perfect in crispy salads, quick stir-fries, comforting soups, or green smoothies.
• Suitable for cool seasons, providing a generous harvest even when temperatures drop.

How to grow it successfully

• Starting: sow in rows or pots from early spring or late summer for an autumn harvest. Typical germination between 7 and 14 days at room temperature.
• Spacing: allow about 30–40 cm between plants in the ground; in pots, use a container at least 20–25 cm deep and plant several if space is limited.
• Soil and care: rich, well-drained, and moist soil; light mulching to retain moisture and limit weeds. Water regularly without saturating the substrate.
• Resilience: tolerates cool climates and can produce tender leaves after frosts, extending your harvest season.

Harvest and practical uses

• Harvest: pick young leaves from 10–15 cm for a tender texture; for more robust plants, allow 60–75 days after sowing depending on conditions.
• Specific uses:
  • In salads: crispy and colorful leaves for visually appealing dishes.
  • Quick cooking: sautéed with garlic and olive oil to accompany protein dishes.
  • Soups and veloutés: adds a green and nutritious touch at the end of cooking.
  • Comforting recipes: homemade kale chips after light seasoning and baking.
• Storage: refrigerate unused leaves for 5 to 7 days. To extend shelf life, blanch and then freeze or freeze pre-cooked portions.
