This is an exceptionally easy-to-grow, yellow-fleshed variety, providing great winter crops of sweet and tasty purple-skinned roots. It is very winter hardy and has resistance to powdery mildew and club root, for healthy and reliable harvests. It is a delicious sweet veg that is a great addition to the winter dinner plate, either roasted, steamed, or mashed with butter & pepper, or even in large chunks in a stew. The tasty leaves can also be used & harvested a few at a time, and treated like a ‘cut & come’ again cabbage. It has a long harvest period from November to February and stores well in dry conditions.
