Description

Growing tips

From summer to fall, the lower leaves can be harvested for small livestock. Rare variety that is only used commercially by one farmer in Lippe (eastern part of East Westphalia-Lippe in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia). Strong, aromatic flavor, tastes best with the accompanying Lippe cabbage sausage.
