Golden Acre Cabbage

The best choice for those preferring an early open-pollinated cabbage that’s not a pointy-headed intellectual from Jersey . A selection of the Copenhagen Market type billed as “new…the earliest of the round-headed cabbages” in the 1928 Jerome B. Rice catalog. Grey-green heads, some with a faint reddish tint in the outer leaves, average 3–5 lb. Our trialers found them big, round and solid with white interiors. 75% of them were marketable. Tasters praised their delicate but crunchy texture, sweet and spicy flavor that developed buttery undertones after cooking. Short stems with sparse wrapper leaves and medium-sized core keep plants compact. Not long standing.
