Cabbage is one of the most typical crops in the north of Spain. Today we will talk about kale or Kale, which is a variant of collard greens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Kale?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El kale es una hortaliza, variedad de las coles o berzas<\/a>, y de la familia de las cruc\u00edferas. De esta misma familia podemos encontrar tambi\u00e9n el br\u00f3coli y la coliflor. Pero el kale es una variedad de las muchas que tienen las coles o berzas. Cada vez m\u00e1s se cultiva en Espa\u00f1a esta variante de col por sus altas propiedades nutritivas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other similar vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, pot handle, cavolo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we look for the reasons for the fashion to consume Kale, they are the very good properties it has, being one of the most digestive and most complete vegetables in terms of minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium and vitamins C, E, A and K. Another special feature is that it provides very few calories and high fiber content. Essential to maintain a healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can consume it in salads, stews and as a condiment for any dish. Another characteristic is that it is a winter vegetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kale cultivation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kale and the same all those of its family adapt well to cultivation in orchards and terraces, but also to intensive plantations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It needs a loamy-silty soil, with a lot of organic matter and a high percentage of nitrogen. It is highly recommended to strengthen the soil with some compost, especially when transplanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It adapts well to cold climates, in all the orchards in the north we can see cabbage plantations in different variants. It is resistant to frost and low winter temperatures, being a recurring vegetable to have all year round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the central and southern areas we can cultivate it with irrigation. It does not like excessive heat or drought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is advisable to sow in seedbeds and transplant the seedlings to the garden in rows or terraces, separated according to the variety and the size they reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irrigation of the Kale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It needs a humid soil and irrigation in hot areas and intensive plantations is essential. But you have to avoid having the ground flooded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The control of humidity with agricultural sensors is essential for its cultivation. The roots are delicate to excess water. Irrigation control at the beginning of the crop is especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low temperatures produce sweeter leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
