Part of our naturally nurtured seed range

 

SOW: seed depth 10mm, starting in pots or modules and best sown in April to early May – can be started earlier in warmer areas)

 

GROW: when large enough to handle, harden off and transplant to a 35-50cm spacing… these are slow growers so I prefer the wider spacing with quick salads in-between that will be out of the way by the time Marwei needs that extra space.

 

EAT: my choice is to steam cabbage but there are lots of other choices.  Marwei is a good store choice… best stored whole and unrinsed until you're ready to use it, place the uncut head in a poly bag in the crisper and Marwei can last 2 months (or shred, blanche & freeze or make Sauerkraut)0.

 

*cabbage storage - cabbage is best stored whole and unrinsed until you're ready to use it. Cutting into it will cause it to lose vitamin C, which will lead to faster spoilage. To store a head of cabbage, place it in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your fridge. Some cabages such as Marwei will last up two months when stored this way.
