Sources and commentaries

Stricly speaking, this group is formed of kales with dissected leaves. This character is of ornamental interest, and various cultivars exist with different colours (green, white, pink, purple) and different wrinkled or fringed leaves..

    • chou laitue. en: salad savoy. Ce chou est surtout connu dans le commerce sous les noms de salade Savoie et de laitue Savoie. Le chou laitue est un légume nouveau qui est un proche parent du chou décoratif et du chou frisé. Boivin Gilles, 1992. Lexique des légumes. Lexique français-anglais-latin. Québec, Les Publications du Québec. (Cahiers de l'Office de la langue française).
    • This example shows that ornamental kales can also be eaten. I ignore whether this 'new' vegetable has survived. MC
