Question: what is the difference between kale and silverbeet?
Answer: Whereas that uppity Tuscan kale might look like it's dressed in fashionista frills, silverbeet is down to earth. It's as hardworking and versatile as a tradie, offering you luscious shiny green leaves and the stem to cook. ... Sure, its Latin name might be beta vulgaris, but this leaf was always at home among aristocracy.
