Cabbage, Early Flat Dutch
(Brassica oleracea var. capitata)

Early Flat Dutch Cabbage is a historic heirloom variety known for its large, flattened heads and dependable early harvests. This productive cabbage produces broad, pale green leaves that form dense, slightly flattened heads with crisp texture and mild flavor. A traditional favorite for fresh eating, cooking, and fermentation.

Key Characteristics

  • Large Flattened Heads
    Early Flat Dutch produces wide, slightly flattened cabbage heads that can reach substantial size. The firm structure and dense leaves make it well suited for slicing and kitchen use.
  • Mild, Sweet Flavor
    Leaves are crisp and tender with a mild, slightly sweet taste. Excellent for fresh slaws, sautéing, soups, and traditional fermented foods like sauerkraut.
  • Early & Productive Heirloom
    Despite its large head size, this variety matures relatively early compared to many large cabbages. It has been grown reliably in home gardens for generations.
  • Adaptable Cool-Season Crop
    Performs best in the moderate temperatures of spring and fall. Consistent soil moisture and fertility help support strong head development.
