Mistletoe is aptly named, as it tends to mature during the holiday season. It is the tallest of the kalettes, with tender, sweet, bite-sized, open sprouts forming along the whole stem. Sow and transplant at the same time as Autumn Star for an extended harvest window and discover the sweetness of winter-kissed kalettes.

Kalettes are a new hybrid of kale and Brussels sprouts, bred using traditional techniques. Like Brussels sprouts, the kalettes form along the stem of each plant, but they are open like miniature kale plants, rather than closed like sprouts. Each one is about 5cm (2″) in diameter, and they can be harvested for fresh raw eating, or cooked as an exciting new side dish. Try them steamed or briefly sauted, or toss them into soups and stir-fries.
