Anyone know the Latin or English name of Mustakaali?

Been googling 6 ways from Sunday but didn't hit the right page (yet).

Original name is Nero Di Toscana Cabbage. It seems to be officially called lacinato kale.
It's called so many other names in other parts of the world; dinosaur kale, palm tree kale, cavolo nero, and many others.

*Smoke blown and Google-guns holstered* :lol:
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

OK - thanks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacinato_kale

What i found here was from Lidl

Nice and fresh - made a raw salad with olive oil - wine vinegar - salt- fresh pepper - some sugar

Good - but there was a fishy back-taste - as if fish meal had been used as fertilizer - will try to ask
