Red Acre cabbage is a compact variety known for its deep red, almost purple leaves, which not only add color to gardens but also to dishes. It's smaller than many cabbage types, typically growing heads about 7 inches in diameter. This variety is prized for its resistance to splitting and yellowing, making it excellent for long-term storage. Rich in vitamins A, C, and potassium, Red Acre cabbage is versatile, suitable for fresh consumption, cooking, or fermentation.


The exact origins of the Red Acre cabbage are somewhat obscure, but it falls within the broader history of cabbage cultivation. Cabbages, including red varieties like Red Acre, trace back to the wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea, native to coastal southern and western Europe. Historical records suggest cabbages were cultivated by the Celts in central and western Europe, with red cabbage likely developing as a variant due to its unique pigmentation influenced by soil pH. Over centuries, cabbages spread across the world, with red varieties becoming popular not just for their flavor but also for their vibrant color in dishes, reflecting a long tradition of selective breeding for both utility and aesthetics in agriculture.
