White cabbage is the species with the greatest importance in the commercial cultivation of vegetables in Poland. It is a plant of the temperate climate, and the grown specimens can withstand temperature drops as low as -8 ° C.If, however, there are frosts before the planned harvest, it is absolutely necessary to wait until the heads of cabbage are thawing in the beds.
When very cold, they are not suitable for long storage, but they are perfect for pickling.The pickling process preserves the nutritional properties of cabbage, especially vitamin C.It is worth remembering and not discouraging for pickling this tasty vegetable yourself.
If you have a barrel, you can also set the whole head of cabbage to pickling, placing it close to the bottom of the barrel and covering it with chopped ones.By Christmas, the head should be stoned and its leaves will add Christmas flavor to the pigeons.Red cabbage is also suitable for pickling, which is unlikely to be available on the market.
The late varieties of cabbage are harvested from late October to mid-November.Savoy cabbage may remain in the field the longest, and some varieties are suitable for the winter harvest.
