Murdoc Pointed Head Cabbage Seeds

Murdoc Pointed Head Cabbage Seeds grow large, cone-shaped heads averaging 7 to 8 pounds, packed with very tender, flavorful leaves that are sweeter than round cabbage. The heart-shaped centers and thinner leaves give a silky texture ideal for fresh or lightly sauteed dishes. It is especially suited for weisskraut, a milder, more tender Bavarian specialty, plus coleslaw, stir-fries, and sautes.
