Answers:
Cavolo nero, also known as Tuscan, Lacinato and Dinosaur Kale, is a tangy, sweet green with long blue-green leaves that's packed with folic acid and vitamin C. Kale's intense flavor comes from its glucosinolates, which are broken down in the body to form substances that are suspected to help slow or stop the development or progression of some cancers.
They are probably referring to just plain old Kale, as opposed to "Dinosaur Kale" or "Black Kale" by calling is cavolo green. You should be able to find kale in any regular supermarket.
