Red cabbage is known for its vibrant purple-red color, which is due to its high anthocyanin content—an antioxidant that gives the cabbage its rich color. It has a slightly sweeter and milder flavor compared to green cabbage and is often used raw in salads or cooked for a variety of dishes.
Red cabbage grows best in cool weather. Plant seeds in early spring or late summer for the best results. It thrives in temperatures between 10°C and 20°C, making it a great option for cooler climates or fall planting.
Red cabbage requires a bit more room to grow compared to other cabbage varieties. Space plants about 30 to 40 cm apart to allow the heads to develop fully. Proper spacing ensures healthy plants and good airflow.
On average, red cabbage takes between 80 to 100 days to reach maturity, depending on growing conditions. It's important to monitor the heads closely, as they should be firm and dense before harvesting.
Yes, red cabbage can be grown in containers as long as they are large enough to accommodate the plant's roots. Choose containers that are at least 30 cm deep and ensure proper drainage for optimal growth.
After harvesting, red cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To extend its shelf life, you can also pickle or ferment red cabbage. If you wish to store it longer, blanching and freezing the cabbage is an option.
