Savoy Express Cabbage

You’ll love this cabbage, which can be harvested in little more than half the time of most savoys on the market (55 days after transplanting in the garden, as compared to 100 growing days for most others). Savoy Express’ sweet flavor makes it great for slaws or mixed in a salad of raw, fresh greens. And its diminutive size (under two pounds) means small families won’t regularly find themselves tossing out half-eaten heads that have gone to rot.
