Kale varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common kale varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Curly Kale	Salads, smoothies, and kale chips: robust crinkled leaves that hold their texture when raw or roasted.
Lacinato (Tuscan / Cavolo Nero)	Soups, braises, and pasta: long dark leaves with a milder, more tender bite when cooked.
Red Russian	Salads and mild cooked dishes: flat serrated leaves with a sweeter, less bitter flavour.
Baby Kale	Salads, wraps, and smoothies: tender small leaves that need no prep and work raw.

Which should I pick?

Curly kale is the supermarket default and suits most uses, from raw salads to roasted chips, once you strip the tough central stems. Lacinato (Tuscan or Cavolo Nero) gives a more tender result in soups and braises. For a sweeter, less bitter bite raw, reach for Red Russian or baby kale, which need no destemming.
