50 to 60 Days to maturity. Brassica carinata. Ethiopian Kale. Annual, Heirloom. This leafy green hails from Ethiopia in East Africa. It goes by many names, including Ethiopian kale, Ethiopian mustard, Abyssinian mustard, African kale, and Highland kale. Often grouped with mustard greens, its leaves have a milder taste than kale or mustard. This cruciferous veggie thrives in mild weather but handles cold and dry spells well. While it takes about two months to fully grow, you can pick the tender baby greens after 25 to 30 days. These young leaves add a sweet touch to salads or cooked green dishes.
