Hello all,

Quick queston... I have a number of savoy cabbage (January King) plants growing nicely, although they have yet to form any cabbages. The plants do though have some nice looking leaves on them, and I was wondering if these are also edible (and worth eating). All advice greatly appreciated - thanks!

Never tried the outer leaves but I dont see why you shouldnt try one or two.

Have a go and let us know what they where like.

It's all cabbage and they are green. Chop them up, remove central stalk and enjoy.

oh i do hope so, we have been eating them :)

I always take the outer leaves off  autumn/winter cabbage if there are only the two of us for lunch ..I only take the full cabbage for family Sunday dinners..
You can do the same with the sprout tops too, take as many leaves as you need,.these taste really well..

Fantastic - thanks!

I picked some outer leaves the other week for sunday diner and they excellent ;D

you can use them like vine leaves, stuffed and roasted with stock  :)
