There's a colourful new arrival shaking up the veg aisle, and we can't wait for you to meet it. Tesco Finest Red Kale brings deep purple-red leaves, a slightly sweeter flavour than green kale and plenty of versatility to the kitchen.
Red kale is perfect for brassica lovers looking to add something a little different to pasta, soups, casseroles, stir-fries and salads.
Quick, easy and full of goodness
Red kale is quick and convenient to prepare, whether you're sautéing, steaming or stirring it into dishes. Its leaves add texture and hold their shape well during cooking, so it looks just as good on the plate as it does in the pack.
Naturally rich in vitamins K, A and C, a source of calcium and folate, and packed with fibre and antioxidants, red kale also brings plenty of nutritional value to the plate.
