Purple Cabbage

Product Overview:
Purple Cabbage (also known as Red Cabbage) is a nutritional powerhouse that brings high-impact color to any meal. Sourced from farms that specialize in dense-head varieties, our purple cabbage is harvested at peak maturity to ensure its signature firm structure. It is significantly more nutrient-dense than green cabbage, containing higher levels of specific vitamins and antioxidants. Because of its resilient texture, it remains crunchy even after being dressed with sauces, making it the gold standard for meal-prep salads and gourmet coleslaws.

Key Features:

Extra-Crunchy Texture: Known for its dense, tightly packed leaves that provide a superior "snap" and a satisfying bite.

Bold, Peppery Flavor: Offers a slightly more robust and earthy flavor profile compared to its green counterparts.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every head is hand-inspected to ensure it is heavy-for-its-size, rock-firm, and possesses a vibrant, deep purple sheen with no signs of wilting or dryness (SQA Checked).

Vibrant Anthocyanins: The natural deep-purple pigment is a visual indicator of high levels of heart-healthy plant compounds.
