Combining the elegant shape of a pointed cabbage with the rich colour of a traditional red cabbage, it forms relatively small, compact heads that are particularly well suited to smaller gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crisp leaves are exceptionally sweet and tender, making Kalibos excellent finely shredded into salads and coleslaw.
