It is also called borecole. It is in the group of vegetables called Brassica oleracea or wild cabbage.

I wish there was only one name for things. It gets confusing eg. capsicums also known as bell peppers.

Isn’t it a kind of spinach? Have you tried just googling it?

I’ve only seen and heard it referred to as kale. Is it the same as silverbeet?

I only heard about Kale over a year ago and heard it is an extremely healthy vegie rich in antioxidants and even though it looks like spinach , it is much better for you . My brother buys a bunch and makes kale juice from it. What I want to know is can I stir fry Kale , just like how you can stirfry buk choy ? I have stirfried spinach and used it on omelettes etc, but can you cook kale like that .

Is Chard another name for Kale??

There are also different types of kale. Tuscan cabbage is a type of kale, though with longer and tougher dark green leaves.

Borecole I think.

I’ve seen it as Kale at my local market and shops. I’m in Sydney.
