Cabbage 'Filderkraut'
Filderkraut is an heirloom cabbage which originates from the fertile plains of South Germany where they know a thing or two about sauerkraut. It's the perfect kraut cabbage - thin tender leaves which hold their bite after fermenting. If you can call a cabbage majestic then this one is it. The pointed Hispi-type heads look very grand in the garden - like minarets rising up from the soil. As well as being great for fermenting, the leaves are perfect shredded in salads or chop the heads into large chunks, marinade and roast.
Sow: March-April (undercover or outside with fleece or cloche)
Plant: May, 45cm apart
Harvest: Autumn-Winter
Kitchen: Roast, steam, sautee or braise. Pairs with acidic flavours (lemon, white wine). fats (sesame, bacon, chorizo, walnuts, parmesan), alliums (garlic, leeks), aromatics (mustard, cumin, parsley, coriander, thai sweet basil, ginger).
Notes: To avoid massive cabbage heads, grow no further than 45cm apart. As with all brassicas, plant deep to avoid toppling.
0.5g (150 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
Germ 100% Aug 25
