Savoy Cabbage

Scientific Binomial Name: Brassica oleracea var. sabauda

Selection Information

Usage: Salads, specialty recipes, Italian recipes.

Selection: Good quality Savoy cabbage will be semi-solid, slightly cone-shaped and fairly heavy in relation to size. Even green coloring means good flavor and vitamin content. Fairly thick and pliable leaves will be more tender and juicy.

Avoid: Avoid cabbage that has thin, wilted leaves which are a sign of old product. Light-colored heads that are very solid mean all core and less taste. Cracked heads mean poor quality from growing conditions.
