Mmmmm, not too sure, sorry Uni. It looks like it may be in the silverbeet/chard family  ???

I agree with SJ I think it is a form of Kale.

some people like it cooked like silverbeet but I only use for the VSC. Always plant it near broccoli and cauli, the white moths seem to attack the kale and leave others alone

It's quite a strong tasting green with a slight bitter taste. I would pan fry it if you don't like to try kale chips ....super healthy kale!!

Soups, salads, throw a handful into a green smoothie . . and it's lovely just steamed . . .  I saw somewhere a great sounding recipe for a kale and blue cheese salad . . . I'll see if I can find it. . .

Kale chips are meant to be really yummy. I've seen a recipe on Helene's super kitchen machine blog under snack/party recipes.  :)

Is it cavalo nero or is it not dark enough for that?
