Cabbage, Sapporo Giant #4

What a show stopper! This big friendly Giant will be your kids’ next best friend! (And yours, too!) This giant cabbage was once a premier crop in Hokkaido, Japan. Noted as a unique variety since the 1800’s, it was almost lost to history. The Japanese in the ‘’Showa” Period had quite the taste and fondness for this big brassica. Hokkaido growers report averages of 17-37 pounds each, or even up to 44 pounds in optimal growing conditions. Not popular for size only, the Sapporo Giant has won gold medals in Japanese taste tests. It has a natural sweetness and stays tender as it grows to its immense size. Thanks to a special team of dedicated growers, we are again able to bring this variety to the fore and protect it from becoming a relic of times past. To impress.... try making a Sapporo giant cabbage roll. It will fill a platter!
