Description

This cut cabbage, shaved cabbage variety 'True Siberian' is very suitable for cold and humid climates and offers an abundance of green leaves. Scheerkohl is prepared like spinach and has a mild, slightly nutty flavor. Both leaf and stem are very tender and completely usable, though stems of very large leaves should be removed before cooking. The plant is not free of erucic acid, so only tender stems can be used.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. It is possible to transplant a first time when the plants have 2 to 3 leaves, every 10 cm, so that the roots are 'hairy' before planting. Repeat when the plants have 4 to 5 leaves. Plant distance 50 cm in all directions without burying the stem too much. For outdoor sowing, sow lightly in rows 50 cm apart (in all directions) and lighten later.
