BE MORE VEGGIE
Longer days, Easter eggs and newly spotless homes – there are many things that herald the beginning of spring, but in the vegetable world it’s a type of cabbage.
True to their name, spring greens – a green veggie belonging to the brassica family – are in peak season between April and June. Unlike most varieties of cabbage, the spring greens plant is ‘heartless’ – that is to say it lacks a hard centre, much like curly kale. Instead, it is formed of loose leaves which have a silky texture.
