Cabbage - Red Jewel

Cabbage 'Red Jewel' is a stunning and highly prized variety, celebrated by South African gardeners for its vibrant, deep reddish-purple leaves that form firm, medium-sized heads. Beyond its striking visual appeal, 'Red Jewel' offers a crisp texture and a distinct, slightly peppery, and subtly sweet flavour that mellows beautifully with cooking. This versatile cabbage is fantastic when used raw in colourful coleslaws and salads, adding both a pop of colour and a delightful crunch. It also holds its vibrant hue well when lightly cooked, making it excellent for pickling, fermenting into sauerkraut, braising, or incorporating into stir-fries and stews, providing both visual appeal and a rich, earthy taste to a variety of dishes.
