Chinese kale, also called Chinese broccoli, Kailaan, or Gai Lan can be substituted for regular broccoli in many recipes. Its unique flavor will win you over! Chinese kale is easy to grow, and will tolerate heat better than many kale and broccoli varieties. High in calcium, iron, vitamins A and C. Very popular for stir-fry dishes. Can also be steamed or boiled. For a gourmet treat, lightly sauté the thinned seedlings!

This packet plants two 6 foot rows.
