Kale - Kale (English spelling)

Japanese: ケール - けーる(英語表記)kale
Kale - Kale (English spelling)

A perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family (APG classification: Brassicaceae). A variety of cabbage that does not form a head. Kale (Hagoromokanran) is a type with crepe-like leaves, and collard (Kakibakanran) is a type without crepe-like leaves, but there is no clear distinction between the two, and they are generally called kale. There are many types, and those with swollen stems are called marrow kale, and those with upright stems are called tree kale. Kale was introduced to Japan during the Edo period, but did not develop as an edible crop, and modern kale was reintroduced after the Meiji period. Young leaves are picked and used in stews and salads, and recently they are also grown in ordinary households for green juice. It is also used as animal feed.

アブラナ科(APG分類:アブラナ科)の多年草。キャベツの1変種で結球しない。葉が縮緬(ちりめん)状になる系統をケール(ハゴロモカンラン)といい、葉の縮みのないものをコラードcollard(カキバカンラン)というが、かならずしも明確に区別されず、一般にケールとよばれている。多くのタイプがあり、茎の肥大するものはマローケール、茎が立つ系統はツリーケールという。日本には江戸時代に渡来したが、食用としては発達せず、現在のケールは明治以降に改めて導入されたものである。若い葉を摘んで煮物やサラダにし、最近は青汁用として一般家庭でもつくられる。飼料用にもされる。
