{"product_id":"dinosaur-kale-seeds","title":"Dinosaur Kale Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eDinosaur kale, also known as Lacinato kale, is a striking dark‑green, deeply textured variety with long, narrow, bumpy leaves that practically beg to be eaten. The flavor is rich and earthy with a hint of sweetness, tender enough for salads but hearty enough to hold up in sautés, soups, or roasted dishes. Extremely cold-hardy and slow to bolt, these plants are easy to grow in garden beds or large containers, producing a steady supply of nutritious, flavorful leaves throughout the season. Dinosaur kale adds both visual drama and dependable taste to any harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Dinosaur Kale (Lacinato Kale) — Shopify friendly product info --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.45; color: #222;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-size: 1.125rem;\"\u003eDinosaur Kale \u003csmall style=\"font-size: 0.85rem; color: #555;\"\u003e(Brassica oleracea var. palmifolia)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #333;\"\u003eHeirloom kale known for long, deeply textured dark-green leaves.
