Originating from the windswept shores of Brittany , the 'Lily White' sea kale is a rare, traditional variety , remarkable for its ability to withstand salt spray and sea winds.

Cultivated for generations in coastal vegetable gardens, it elegantly complements fish, shellfish, and seafood dishes , thanks to its mild, slightly sweet and salty flavor . Its presence in Breton cuisine testifies to a long-standing connection between the sea and the nourishing garden .
The young, broad, tender leaves , pale green and almost white in the center, form a compact and luminous head . Its hardiness and vigor make it a generous, resilient plant, perfectly adapted to harsh conditions.
In an ecological garden, Lily White brings diversity, structure, and permanence . It captivates with its understated beauty, its robustness, and its nourishing role season after season , for those who cultivate in harmony with the rhythm of life.
