Description

Portuguese cabbage is a green leafy vegetable from the cabbage family. Unlike most cabbage varieties, this vegetable does not form heads and grows in leaves like kale. This led to the alternative common name Portuguese kale. However, unlike kale, the leaves of this green vegetable, as well as the midrib and stem, are fleshy and juicy. Kale ribs and stems are often too woody to eat. Many compare this vegetable to collards.
