Minuet is a mini napa hybrid producing small, dense heads ideal for single meals and specialty markets—same mild juicy character in a compact package. Faster to cook through; less waste for small households. Quality interior blanching when well grown. Halve or quarter for braises and hot pot; ferment mini heads whole in small crocks. Perfect when full-size napa is too much. Premium small-head class.
