Brunswick cabbage (Brassica oleracea)
Brunswick cabbage is a very old variety originating from Germany and mentioned as early as 1800. Late and short-stalked, it produces a very large soft green head, which can reach 30 to 40 cm, with a slightly flattened shape on the top, at the crunchy texture. We had huge specimens! It is an ideal cabbage for making sauerkraut. In addition, it has a long shelf life in cold storage. It is also called “Early Flat Dutch”, “from Boston” and “Early Drumhead”.
