Description

An old Eastern European heirloom producing unique, red pointed hearts. Cabbage Kalibos is best grown for late summer and autumn use when firm, solid hearts have few waste outer leaves. Ideal shredded raw in salads as the colour reduces on cooking.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds March to May thinly in a well prepared seedbed, 13mm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart.

Growing Instructions

Plant out to 45cm (18in} apart each way when large enough to handle, approximately 5 weeks from sowing.

Nutritional Information

Eaten raw or cooked, cabbages are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Try to use all healthy outer leaves, as the darkest green leaves contain the most nutrients.

Kitchen Notes

If cooking, steam in minimal water to retain its rich red colour and nutrients.
