botany
A plant of a genus of large-leaved herbs related to cabbage, which includes sea kale.
Crambe plants belong to the mustard family and are grown for their big, wavy leaves and clouds of small white flowers. The best-known species, sea kale, grows wild on shingle beaches in Europe, and its young shoots were once blanched and eaten like asparagus. The word comes from a Greek name for cabbage, which is why it also turns up in the old saying about cabbage served up again.
