Late Flat Dutch is an heirloom variety that produces giant cabbages weighing up to 25 pounds each. Dating back to the 1840s, Late Flat Dutch is renowned for its keeping qualities and even today remains one of the most popular late season cabbage varieties around. The solid, dense heads are ideal for storage and also make great sauerkraut. While its origins are somewhat elusive, the Late Flat Dutch cabbage is believed to be an improved selection of "Brunswick," another drumhead cabbage which originates from Germany. As we have trialed them both side by side, we can confirm that Late Flat Dutch is indeed superior in many respects, producing larger, denser heads that are more resistant to damage and splitting. In the kitchen, Late Flat Dutch cabbages are great for making savory fall dishes like fried cabbage, cabbage stew, and stuffed cabbage rolls. We also appreciate having late cabbages like this one available when we need coleslaw for those late summer barbeques. Finally, probably the most beloved quality of Late Flat Dutch is its firm, crunchy texture which makes arguably some of the best sauerkraut ever.
