Unearth the rare gem that is Kale Beira Tronchuda F1 (*Brassica oleracea*, Acephala Group), a bright green, loose-headed kale originating from Portugal. Also known as Portuguese kale, this Tronchuda-type boasts wide-spreading leaves with thick, white, fleshy ribs that are exceptionally sweet and tender.

Beira exhibits remarkable tolerance to both cold and heat, ensuring its unrivaled taste and appearance intrigue throughout the growing season. This “Queen of Greens” is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in carotenoids and flavonoids, powerful antioxidants known for their health benefits.

Direct sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them 4-6 inches apart (thin to 12-24 inches). Rows should be 18-36 inches apart. Soil temperature for germination is 55–75°F, with emergence in 5–17 days. For a fall crop, sow June—July.
