BABY KALE: FROM A NICHE CROP TO EVERYDAY TABLES
In recent years, baby kale has become one of the most appreciated crops among growers, processors, and chefs. Harvested in the early stages of development, it provides tender and flavorful leaves, a milder taste compared to mature kale, and a distinctive appearance that enhances salads, baby leaf mixes, and gourmet preparations.
From a nutritional standpoint, it is naturally rich in vitamins K, C, and A, as well as being a source of fiber and antioxidant compounds.
ENZO AND CIRO: REFERENCE VARIETIES
Smarties.bio selects two baby kale varieties designed for professional production:
Enzo is characterized by strongly serrated leaves, high uniformity, and excellent shelf life. Its upright growth habit makes cutting easier and enables efficient harvesting, while its fast growth ensures high yields.
Ciro features a more rounded leaf and a distinctive V-shaped structure that gives greater volume to the packed product. Uniformity, rapid growth, and ease of harvest make it an ideal choice for high-efficiency production systems.
Both varieties are characterized by high growth homogeneity, an upright habit that facilitates cutting, excellent bright green color, fast development, and high yields, as well as strong germination capacity.
INDOOR CULTIVATION AND VERTICAL FARMING
Thanks to its fast cycle and excellent adaptability to controlled environments, baby kale is particularly well suited for indoor production and vertical farming systems. The crop responds very well to artificial lighting and enables consistent year-round production.
ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL
The seeds are available in conventional versions, depending on the variety. Specific availability is indicated for each product. Each batch of Smarties.bio pelleted seeds is accompanied by a technical sheet with germination, purity, and harvest year data. Traceability is guaranteed throughout the entire supply chain, from production to delivery.
All our seeds are strictly controlled and guaranteed free from Xanthomonas sp., Alternaria sp. and Phomalingam and other pathogens.
