Perfect for use as a mini Chinese cabbage in stir-fries, or leave it to develop fully for use as a normal cabbage. Dark green outer leaves with pale succulent centre. 150-200g heads. High in vitamins A, C and iron. Harvest in 35-45 days for mini-heads, 55 days for full size heads. Harvest June-October.
Tom says: Bred to be harvested as a miniature head, it has a sweet flavour that works perfectly when simply sliced in half and sauteed in a little sesame oil or sliced into a salad. Alternatively allow it to grow for a little longer and harvest as a full size head and use in much the same way as a savoy cabbage.
