Descrição

Brassicaceae family are commonly grown and consumed worldwide. Belonging to this group, kale (Brassica oleraceIJe var. acephala) is important in traditional farming systems in the Iberian Peninsula. While its seeds have been used for human consumption as oil, or mixed with some food products, sprouts, the germination form, are favoured for their nutritional value [1].
