About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An early, seed-stable variety from the northern German cabbage region of Dithmarschen, it delivers the first firm heads already in early summer. The round heads stay manageable at about a kilo each and are not meant for storage but for fresh cooking. Plant it early, and you will harvest from the end of June.
Tender and mild, with thin leaves and little stem. Raw as a fine green salad or lightly steamed as a vegetable side.
