Jeremy Helme’s Pool Hullock farm is just on the Welsh borders, by the village of Llandinabo. It’s a little family farm (Jeremy built the family home in the old barn), where, as well as kale Jeremy grows our more weird and wonderful things (including fennel, squash and Jerusalem artichokes).

Storage & prep

Remove any damaged outer leaves before cutting the main body of leaves away from the core. Slice off any tough central stalks. Give the leaves a rinse and then chop appropriately. Great braised with butter, steamed or popped in a stir-fry. Store in a cool, dry place or in the vegetable drawer of your fridge to prolong life.
