Red Jewel Napa F1
Our fall trial of this deep purple-red Chinese napa cabbage.
Cooler fall nights brought out an even deeper purple than our spring heads, and the cold tends to make napa a little sweeter as well. The barrel-shaped heads are purple through to the centre, great raw in salads or cooked in Asian dishes. Rich in anthocyanin, which provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Bolt-tolerant and suited to sowing from late spring through fall, with heads typically weighing 2–3 pounds.
Transplanted August 18 and ready in about 60 days, right in line with our spring trial.
