Sorry about that Leah. We just found purple kale in Whole Foods as well. You do you have one close by? You could probably request that they carry it.

Hi Abbey!
We found purple kale at our local Whole Foods Market. If you can’t find it, regular kale will work just as well. Hope you enjoy it!
Ladies this looks delicious! Love the colors.
