Lacinato Kale Flowers and Leaves

Home garden kale from last year is at the end of its life cycle, putting out gorgeous tiny yellow flowers to spread its genes.

Some of these delicate-looking yellow kale flowers paired with bluebells and Solomon's Seal from the garden bring instant cheer.

And, some of the kale flowers got sautéed with the last of the Lacinato kale leaves plus colorful bell peppers, onions and garlic to make a simple plate of irresistible dish that is perfect as-is, or can be served with brown rice or quinoa or even rotis.
