Our napa cabbage is a must-try for all you culinary enthusiasts. Its crisp texture and mild flavour make it a fantastic addition to salads and stir-fries, but our personal favourite way to enjoy this beauty is in the form of tangy and spicy kimchi.

When it comes to making sauerkraut, our green and red storage cabbage varieties take the crown.
