Featured Varieties
The classic winter variety with a firm, heavy, round head in light green-white. Its long shelf life makes it suitable for both fresh consumption and stuffed-cabbage or pickling use.
A smaller, looser-headed early-maturing type. Harvested in limited quantities during summer for fresh consumption and local markets.
Growing & Harvest
White cabbage follows a growing calendar that begins with seedling transplant in late summer and runs through winter, in the Black Sea plains around Samsun and the Marmara plains along the Sakarya-Bursa corridor; cool climate and regular irrigation support the formation of firm, heavy heads. Harvest is done by hand once the head reaches the desired firmness; after outer leaves are trimmed, it is shipped through the cold chain.
Uses & Applications
White cabbage is eaten both raw and cooked in Turkish cuisine; thinly sliced into salads, used as wrapping leaves for stuffed cabbage rolls, and widely used in pickling and other traditional recipes. In export shipments, head firmness and a crack-free surface are regarded as quality markers; freshness holds for a long time when the cold chain is maintained.
