About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The decorative pointed red cabbage with tapered, heart shaped heads in a bright purple red. Unlike the round storage varieties the leaf is more tender and milder, so you can enjoy it finely shaved raw in a salad. An open pollinated variety that also looks good in the bed and can be harvested from late summer onwards.

Pleasantly mild and sweetish, with a tender bite and no harsh sharpness. A colourful eye catcher in a raw salad, but it also braises in the classic way.
