Sources and commentaries

The standard form of white cabbage has whitish leaves and is very compact. Some forms have green outer leaves, and can bear other names, such as :

  • English: winter cabbage, autumn cabbage
  • French: chou vert

Winter cabbages traditionally grown in Western France have deep green and slightly crinkled leaves, and may be intermediate with savoy cabbages (Sabauda Group).

Cultivars with a big size, grown for industrial processing (sauerkraut) are included here. Cultivars with a pointed head are dealt with under Pyramidalis group.

  • French
    • In French, chou cabus includes red cabbage, but excludes savoy cabbage. Chou pommé includes both red and savoy cabbages.
