Product Description

Brassica oleracea var. alba, commonly known as white cabbage, is a compact, leafy vegetable characterized by its dense, rounded head formed by layers of tightly packed, smooth, pale green to white leaves. The outer leaves are often darker green, creating a contrast with the creamy, tender inner layers that are prized for their mild, slightly sweet flavor. This versatile plant grows in a neat, spherical shape, with its head often reaching up to 20 cm in diameter. It’s a popular ingredient in both raw and cooked dishes, offering a refreshing crunch and adaptability to a range of culinary uses.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.

• Watering frequency: Keep soil consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging that can cause root rot.

• Light exposure: Requires full sun but tolerates partial shade, especially in warmer regions.

• Temperature requirements: Best grown in cooler temperatures, between 60-70°F (15-21°C), ideal for fall and winter harvests.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer at planting and during growth to promote head development.

• Pruning: Not necessary, but thinning seedlings to 12-16 inches apart ensures optimal head growth.

• Common pests: Watch out for cabbage worms, aphids, and slugs; use row covers or organic treatments to protect plants.
