The Hungry Gap is the period in April, May and early June, after winter crops have dwindled but before the new spring crops are ready to harvest. It’s a lean time on UK farms… but this late-cropping kale variety offers a welcome glimmer of homegrown greens.

Hungry Gap kale has tender, lightly frilled leaves on a robust rib. Sweet and delicate, it can be used raw in salads or whizzed into green smoothies. Or cook as you would other kales: wilted as a simple side or added to hearty peasant-style soups and stews.

How to store Hungry Gap kale

Delivered from the farm, so wash before eating. Best kept in the fridge and eaten within a few days.

How to cook Hungry Gap kale

To prepare, strip away the leaves from any tough, thick stalks: pinch the stalk at the base and pull upwards, so the leaves shear away with ease. Cook for just a few mins to retain a good colour and texture; excessive cooking will give you soggy greens.

Hungry Gap kale season

This reliable kale variety is harvested in April.
