As I mentioned, the savoy cabbage is a true winter vegetable, a much stronger variety compared to other cabbages. It is also capable of growing in less nutrient dense soil which makes it an easier vegetable to cultivate. Interestingly, soil that is too nutrient dense creates a lesser quality crop. A savoy cabbage that soaks up too many nutrients becomes less resistant to low temperatures and grows softer leafs.
Records of savoy cabbage go back as far as the 15th century in the Savoy region. Unlike many other vegetables with European origins, the savoy cabbage arrived in the United Kingdom not long after it was popularised in Europe. By the 17th century it had become a backup crop for harsher winters due to its resistance to cold temperatures.
It is quite the versatile vegetable, too. Thanks to its taste and texture it can easily replace kale called for in western recipes or even bok choy and Chinese cabbage in Asian recipes. For example, instead of sautéing kale you could sauté savoy cabbage with lemon, garlic and chilli flakes. It also lends well to any kind of stir fry and complements the earthy flavours of tofu, too.
As this vegetable holds up well in low temperatures, there is no reason for its cultivation in greenhouses. Fortunately, there are few farmers that grow savoy cabbage indoors so most of what you find on the market and in the supermarket is likely grown outdoors. Do check whether it is organic though, since this crop is prone to a few pests and a favourite meal for pigeons.
All cabbages have a long growing season and should be sowed as early as April or May. The average growing time is 32 to 40 weeks so the harvesting season starts in December and ends around February. Some varieties may also be available earlier on in the fall from October onwards.
