Umuthi Cabbage (Copenhagen) Growing Seeds produce compact, uniform green cabbage heads with crisp leaves and a clean, slightly sweet flavour. This dependable heirloom variety suits cool-season growing and fits neatly into home garden beds. It grows well in full sun, rich well-draining soil, and compost-enriched beds with steady moisture.
The harvested heads are versatile in the kitchen for slaws, salads, saut*s, soups, stir-fries, kraut, and pickles. Why we love it: Copenhagen cabbage is practical, reliable, and easy to use in the kitchen. Its crisp texture makes it just as useful raw in slaws as it is cooked or fermented in small-batch preserves.
