Kale
Frost makes it sweeter. Produces for 6+ months. More vitamin C than an orange.
This cut-and-come-again crop thrives in frost, heat, poor soil, and neglect — converting starches to sugars during cold snaps for sweeter leaves. Lacinato (dinosaur) and Red Russian varieties deliver the best taste for novices. Overwintering in many climates ensures fresh greens when other vegetables fail, making kale the ultimate low-effort staple for beginners.
