Texsel is especially good for temperate climates, as it’s fast growing even at relatively low temperatures. These fairly hardy, nutritious greens have a mild cabbage flavor, and can be finely chopped for salad mixes if harvested under 12” tall. Larger, more mature leaves are cooked like cabbage leaves. Immature flower stems are cooked like broccoli. Seeds can also be crushed and used as a condiment. The plant originated from Ethiopian Mustards. Also known as Ethiopian kale, Ethiopian mustard, Ethiopian rape and Abyssinian mustard. Tags: Color: Green, Season: Spring Fall, Seed: Safe Seed Pledge.
The center of biological diversity for Texsel Greens is east central Africa. Cultivation is thought to have started there about 4000 years BC. Brassica carinata is a member of the Triangle of U species in the agriculturally significant Brassica genus. It has 34 chromosomes with genome composition BBCC, and is thought to result from an ancestral hybridisation event between Brassica nigra, genome composition BB, and Brassica oleracea.
