Kale Thousand Head, also known as Kale-Keeper, is a popular variety of kale, especially in East Africa where it’s often referred to as “Sukuma Wiki.” Here’s what makes it stand out:
- High Yielding: As the name suggests, it’s known for its exceptional productivity, often yielding many times more than other kale varieties.
- Continuous Production: It’s an indeterminate variety, meaning it keeps producing new shoots and leaves over a long period, allowing for continuous harvesting.
- Heat Tolerance: It can withstand warmer temperatures better than some other kale types, making it suitable for cultivation in various climates.
- Versatility: Like other kale varieties, it’s packed with nutrients and can be used in a wide range of dishes, from salads and stir-fries to soups and stews.
