Kale in Scandinavia
editWikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants#Kale_in_Scandinavia, for the interested. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:20, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
Frost
edit"Kale can become sweeter in taste after a heavy frost."
Sweeter than what? Is kale harvested before the frosts anywhere? Here in Germany at least, kale is not considered ready for harvest until it has gone through at least one frost. --91.34.39.13 (talk) 08:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
"Kale is high in oxalic acid"
editI don't think that's correct. The article oxalic acid says it's very low. --Chaptagai (talk) 11:13, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Russian kale
editThis article starts by stating that kale is a form of Brassica oleracea, but then it also covers Russian kale, which is B napus var pabularia. We need to deal with this conflict, either by broadening the lead para to cover both, or by separating the two into different articles. Which would be better?

Biennial plant
editit is. You can harvest leaves and stem the first year, the plant is blooming and ripening seeds the second year. I have corrected that. Wolfgang Kaul (talk) 21:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
