We first discovered Kalibos Cabbage in the ‘Bakers Creek’ seed catalogue in 2008. We were intrigued by the colour, a glowing magenta head surrounded by darker red/purple outer leaves with hot pink veins. It is a stunning plant that really brings the winter garden a contrast and sublime beauty. Grown in Autumn for winter harvesting, the flavour is sweet, juicy, and minerally - just as good cooked as it is as a slaw with lime juice and coriander.
