Redjewel F1 red cabbage is an early-maturing variety, prized for its bright red colour and excellent tolerance to splitting and head deformation.
Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). The head is roundish, very compact, with an average weight of about 1.5 kg.
Being an early variety, transplanting can take place at different times of the year depending on the growing area, allowing for staggered harvests.
It prefers cool, humid areas free from frost, with steady water availability throughout the growing cycle. The intense red colour comes from anthocyanins in the leaves.
Thanks to its excellent split tolerance, this variety is also well-suited to slightly delayed harvests. Still, respect transplanting distances to promote even head development.
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids. Good airflow between plants helps prevent the main fungal diseases.
Red cabbage is rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, C and minerals. It has anti-inflammatory properties and supports the immune system. Delicious eaten raw in colourful salads or braised.
