Heads can reach approximately 2 kg and develop the distinctive tapered shape characteristic of old European Sugarloaf cabbages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are sweet, crisp and tender, making Cuor Di Bue particularly good for fresh eating. Finely shred into salads and coleslaw, ferment into sauerkraut or use in soups, stir-fries, braises and other cooked dishes. The tender outer leaves can also be harvested individually while the head continues to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reliable cool-season variety, Cuor Di Bue performs best in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. The pointed heads are relatively compact for their weight, making efficient use of garden space while still producing a substantial harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
