Despite its somewhat rustic appearance, the root has a buttery, mild flavour and remains tender rather than becoming coarse or woody as it grows. Young roots can be sliced and eaten raw as well as roasted, steamed, mashed or added to soups and stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very old turnip type with a long history in European cultivation. Despite the name “Italian Cabbage”, it is a turnip rather than a true cabbage or swede. The leafy tops are also edible and can be harvested young for salads or cooked as greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vigorous and forgiving variety, Italian Cabbage can be allowed to grow considerably larger than most table turnips without sacrificing eating quality. It is adaptable across a broad range of conditions and can be grown through much of the year where temperatures are suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 400–500 seeds per gram.
