Description
Cabbage Brunswick (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a famous German heirloom dating back to the 18th century, renowned for its massive, drumhead-shaped heads and long-term winter storage capability. Producing large, dense, slightly flattened heads weighing 6 to 10 pounds, it features thick, crisp, bluish-green outer leaves protecting a tight, tender white interior. Exceptionally cold-hardy and slow to split, this classic autumn drumhead cabbage is prized for homemade sauerkraut, hearty autumn stews, roasting, and cold cellar storage throughout the winter.
