Dino Kale is a variety of kale with a long tradition in Italian cuisine. The leaves are so hearty that, even when well cooked, they retain a wonderful firm texture, making it a great choice for braising or adding to stews.

Arugula is great in salads, by itself, or with lettuce greens. It has a slightly nutty taste and mild spicy flavor.

Garlic chives are a good choice for those who shy away from full-flavored garlic, They are used extensively in Asian dishes, but you can use garlic chives as you would regular chives—in salad dressings, soups, and as a garnish.
