A taste of Italy in your garden! This much-loved heirloom vegetable variety, also known as Cavolo Nero or Black Cabbage, is an Italian classic that has been at the heart of traditional country cooking for generations.

Cavolo Nero is renowned for its unusually dark, wrinkled leaves, which are delicious raw in salads, sautéed with garlic and olive oil or added to hearty soups like ribollita. Its nutritional benefits are just as impressive: it’s packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium.

These resilient, easy to grow winter vegetable seeds perform well in Australian climates and can even tolerate light frost, which can sweeten their flavour. Harvest the leaves young for a tender texture or let them mature for more bite and a richer taste.

Contains approximately 400 seeds.
