Kalette

The kalette (also sold as flower sprout, kalettes, or lollipops kale) is a modern hybrid of curly kale and Brussels sprout — a genuinely new market vegetable rather than a cultivar of either parent. Instead of a tight bud or a big leaf, each plant carries dozens of small, loose, frilly rosettes of green-and-purple leaves growing where a leaf meets the tall stalk, like open little sprouts with kale's ruffle. Milder, sweeter and nuttier than a Brussels sprout and less bitter than raw kale, it eats tender and pretty raw or roasted, and was launched commercially in the 2010s as a deliberately convenient, quick-cooking green.
