Danish Ballhead Cabbage Seeds
Danish Ballhead cabbage, a distinguished heirloom variety, is renowned for its exceptional storage qualities and robust flavor. Originating from Denmark, this cabbage has been a staple in European kitchens for centuries. It features tightly packed, round heads that are typically light green on the outside with crisp, white interiors. The dense foliage makes it particularly well-suited for long-term storage, allowing it to maintain its freshness and nutritional value for months after harvesting.
One of the key characteristics of Danish Ballhead cabbage is its versatility in culinary uses. It can be enjoyed raw in salads and slaws, where its crunchy texture adds a satisfying bite. When cooked, it softens beautifully and absorbs flavors well, making it an excellent addition to soups, stews, and casseroles. Its hearty nature also allows it to stand up to more robust preparations, such as braising or fermenting for homemade sauerkraut. The slightly sweet and peppery flavor profile of Danish Ballhead cabbage enhances a wide variety of dishes, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
Whether you're looking to enhance your meals or bolster your diet with nutritious vegetables, Danish Ballhead cabbage is an excellent choice that combines practicality and flavor.

How to Save Seeds
Cabbage will cross pollinate with any member of the Brassica oleracea which includes cauliflower, broccoli, kale, and brussel sprouts so separate by 1 mile . They also require overwintering for seed. So you'll want to preserve the head when overwintering by either heavily mulching the plant or if you have colder winters transplant the plant from the garden to a pot of sand and store over winter in an area between 35 to 40 degrees. Once spring arrives simply place the plant back out into the garden and allow to bolt. Once pods appear and dry out harvest and store seeds.
