About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The famous pointed cabbage from the Filder near Stuttgart, a self‑seeding land variety that you harvest until November. The large, pointed conical heads become loose and juicy and are the classic base for Filderkraut sauerkraut. Plan plenty of space and a long growing period, because the plant becomes vigorous and needs its time.
Mild and with a delicate sweetness, the interior is tender and juicy. You enjoy it raw finely shredded in a coleslaw or traditionally fermented into sauerkraut.
