Winter Cabbage

Winter cabbage refers to firm-headed cabbage varieties that mature in late summer and fall and are well suited to storage through the colder months. Varieties may have green, red, or blue-green leaves and can range from tightly packed heads to more open forms.

Cabbage has a crisp texture and mild flavor when raw, while cooking brings out its natural sweetness. It is one of the most useful storage vegetables for the Northeast and can remain available from local farms well after the summer growing season.
