What would happen if you decided to combine kale and brussels sprouts? Sounds like it would make one of the greenest, healthiest vegetables around, right? Tozer Seed – a British vegetable breeding company – decided to do just that. It took them 15 years, but they finally created what they're now calling kalettes. After all those years, Tozer Seed was able to finally come up with a new vegetable that combined the best flavors of kale and brussels sprouts.

It has a core similar to brussels sprouts and kale-like leaves, so kalettes look like a perfect hybrid of these two vegetables. It easily fits in the palm of your hand and can be used the same way you would use kale or brussels sprouts. You can steam, roast, grill or just eat kalettes raw in a salad! They also cook up faster than brussels sprouts because they're not as dense. (via The Daily Meal)
