Brassica oleracea var. viridis 'Red Russian Kale'

Commonly sold here in markets in California. It was uploaded by me in Fruits and Vegetables Week as Brassica napus var. pabularia based on name appearing in some websites, but it seems looking at texture of leaves to regard it as a type of kale.

Last year I saw Russian kale being grown in Kashmir also along with the famous haak sag.
  I am uploading the same also.
