Tancook Island Cabbage, 1900's Heirloom, Organic

Seed Exchange - this will not last long as it is seldom offered, this is worth growing and saving your own seed - Tancook Island Cabbage Seeds. The large heads of this rare, late maturing variety have a solid, round, and uniform shape.  Raw leaces have a sweet, distinctive mustard flavor. Steamed leaves retain firmness and sweetness. Grown on Tancook Island, Nova Scotia, by four generations of the Langille fmaily, this roubust cabbage stores well and makes great sauerkraut.  Theodore Duquay of New Brunswick donated its seeds to Seed Savers Exchange in 1995. 100 days from transplant, Brassica oleracea
