Ornamental Kale

Is it edible? I've heard that it is and that it isn't. I don't know why it wouldn't be.

All forms of kale are edible. I haven't tried it, but I'm thinking the ornamental kales may be less tasty, since they have been bred for beauty not taste. Kale always tastes best when it has matured in cool weather.

And if you are going to eat it, you want it not to have been treated with insecticide, etc.
