Vegetable
Rovite
A tier
Rovite-type red cabbages target solid internal colour and good weight for European fresh markets—dense purple throughout rather than pale cores. Flavour is robust enough for long braising with vinegar and spices. A commercial quality class/cultivar name in trade. Braise classic German-style; shred raw when cores are fully coloured. Choose for deep colour on the plate. Stores in cool humid conditions.
