1OZ ROUND DUTCH CABBAGE
Early Round Dutch cabbage produces 4 to 5 pound heads with good wrapper leaves. Nice and early, slow to bolt, and full of great flavor! The dark blue-green leaves take about 70 days to produce full heads.
Cabbage is considered one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, since historians trace it back to 4,000 BC in China. The Romans also cultivated it and praised it for its healing qualities; philosphers Pythagorus and Cato both made the lowly cabbage the subject of a book. Jacques Cartier brought the first cabbage to America in 1536. Cabbages were quite popular in colonial America, being pickled and preserved in every possible way to provide food for the winter.
