Savoy Perfection Cabbage is a drumhead type cabbage that forms dense, rounded heads usually measuring 18 to 23 cm in diameter and weighing between 2.7 and 3.6 kg. The leaves are highly “savoyed” (heavily textured and crinkled), ranging from soft emerald to deep blue-green. Sweeter and much milder than standard smooth-leaf cabbage, with a buttery, delicate heart.
Culinary Uses
- Raw: Shredded finely, it provides great crunch and visual appeal in fresh slaws and salads.
- Cooked: Because the leaves are pliable and softer than standard cabbage, they are perfect for stuffed cabbage rolls. It also holds up well in stir-fries, soups, and sautés.
- Odorless: Highly valued for stove-top cooking because it lacks the pungent, sulfurous aroma typical of other boiled brassicas.
