Glory of Enkhulzen Cabbage Seeds

A very versatile heirloom variety first introduced in 1899 by Sluis & Groot in Enkhuizen, Holland.
Key Physical Characteristics:
Large, Dense Heads: It produces solid, round, blue-green heads that typically weigh between 6 and 10 pounds and reach 8 to 12 inches in diameter.
Texture and Flavor: The leaves are famously crisp and tender with a sweet, savory flavor profile.
Crack Resistance: The variety is noted for its ability to hold up well in the field and remain nearly 100% crack-resistant, even after heavy rains.
Culinary Uses:
Ultimate Kraut Cabbage: Due to its density and high water content, it is considered one of the best varieties for making sauerkraut and fermented foods.
Versatility: It is equally excellent for fresh uses like coleslaw and salads, as well as cooked dishes like stir-fries and soups.
Maturity: This mid-to-late season variety typically reaches maturity in 90 to 100 days.
Hardiness: It is very cold-hardy and frost-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for both spring and fall gardens. In mild climates, it can even be grown as a winter crop.
Storage: Known for its "excellent-keeping" quality, it can be stored for months in a cool cellar or refrigerator crisper without losing its flavor.
Space Efficient: Despite the large head size, the plant itself has a relatively compact frame, making it suitable for raised beds or smaller garden plots.
