Kalette

Imagine a tiny, leafy flower that you can eat! That's a Kalette! It's a special kind of vegetable that's actually a mix between a kale plant and a Brussels sprout.

They look like little rosettes, all curly and green, sometimes with a bit of purple. They grow on plants that need good soil and sunshine to get big and strong. Kalettes are super fun because they taste a little bit sweet and are not as bitter as some other greens.

Kalettes are like a brand-new invention in the veggie world! They were first created in England by clever plant scientists. They took kale and Brussels sprouts and, using special plant breeding tricks, helped them have a baby!

They were first called 'Flower Sprouts' because they look like little flowers. Then, they got their new name, Kalette, which is like a nickname for 'kale sprouts'. They are grown in different places so you can eat them all year round.

You can eat Kalettes just like you eat other yummy vegetables. You can munch on them raw, which means without cooking them, like a crunchy snack. Or, you can cook them!

Roasting them makes them a little crispy and even sweeter. You can also stir-fry them or steam them. They are great in salads or as a side dish with dinner.

They are a healthy way to add more greens to your plate and give your body good energy!

Kalettes are like little powerhouses of goodness! They are packed with vitamins that help you stay healthy and strong. They are a hybrid, which means they are a mix of two different plants.

This makes them extra special. They were first grown in England and are now enjoyed in many countries. They are a modern vegetable, showing how scientists can create new and tasty foods for us to eat and enjoy!
