Tall and barrel shaped, with an elongated, solid heart of tightly wrapped crisp pale green leaves. Heads typically weigh up to 2kg and have an excellent flavour and texture, more subtle than European cabbages, crisper, less fibrous and more refreshing. Delicious raw in salads or like lettuce, or steamed, stir fried, used in soups and stews etc. A fast growing, cool weather vegetable that likes being watered little and often.
