'Tête Noire' Red Cabbage Seeds: Deep Colour, Superior Taste

Add dramatic colour to your winter garden and your plate with the stunning French heirloom, 'Tête Noire' Red Cabbage. This reliable, mid-to-late season variety produces small to medium-sized, highly dense, round heads of an incredible dark purplish-black hue - living up to its name, which means 'Black Head'. Famous for its robustness and intense, pronounced flavour, 'Tête Noire' is the perfect choice for traditional holiday braising and excellent winter storage.

• Very Dense Heads: Produces tightly wrapped, firm, round heads that are resistant to cracking and provide great yield.

• Winter Keeper: One of the best varieties for storage, lasting well into the new year in a cool, dark location.

• Frost Resistant: Flavour improves after the first frost, making it ideal for late autumn and winter harvesting.

Gardener's Tip for Maximising Colour

The Acidity Secret! Red cabbage naturally contains anthocyanin, the pigments responsible for its colour. For the most vivid, ruby-red heads when braising or cooking, add a splash of acid, like apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, to your recipe. This prevents the colour from turning a dull bluish-purple during the heating process, keeping the final dish vibrant.
