$4.20
Unit price per(Brassica oleracea var. capitata)
Compact, colourful, and reliable, Red Acre cabbage is a classic heirloom variety known for its firm, round heads and rich reddish‑purple colour. Ideal for smaller gardens, it produces tight, dense heads with a crisp texture and a pleasantly mild, slightly sweet flavour.
This early maturing cabbage is a dependable performer, forming neatly sized heads that are perfect for fresh salads, slaws, and cooking. Its strong growing habit and resistance to splitting make it a favourite for consistent, high‑quality harvests.
A versatile kitchen staple, Red Acre stores well after harvest and maintains both flavour and texture, making it a great choice for extended use throughout the season. Whether eaten raw or cooked, it brings both colour and taste to your garden and plate.
