A tender, short-season specialty that truly stuns on the plate. Elongated leaves unfurl in layers of iridescent fuchsia-purple that deepen to rich reddish-purple toward the outer edges. Each leaf is crinkled and ruffled at the edges, with a pliable texture that sets it apart from denser green cabbages.
Cabbage (Purple Napa)
PRODUCT INFO
Sweet and mildly peppery, this variety is more tender and delicate than green Napa, but can be used in all the same ways. Try shredding into salads and slaws, stir-frying alongside other Asian essentials, or braising with a splash of rice vinegar to retain its stunning color.
