About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven, heirloom winter variety for late harvesting. The sprouts sit firmly on the tall stem and only become truly mild and sweet after the first frosts. You harvest from bottom to top over several weeks, so the stem provides you with fresh sprouts throughout the entire winter.
Strong and nutty with a typical savory cabbage tone. The flavor becomes significantly milder and finer after exposure to frost.
