Description

Cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, is probably the most ancient of vegetables. Cabbage belongs to one of the oldest but also one of the largest vegetable families. Head-type cabbage was first described in 1536. The popularity of the vegetable grew as colonists brought cabbage seed with them from Europe.
