Not every variety is suitable for preparing a tasty and healthy dish that housewives like to stock up on for the winter.

Often, the wrong variety is the reason why the dish does not turn out as desired.

Moderately sweet vegetables are more suitable for culinary experiments. Experienced gardeners and cooks have identified two ideal varieties.

"Snow White"

Juicy heads of cabbage that make a great dish. The firm leaves give that crunch that many people love about sauerkraut.

Another advantage of "Snow White" is that the harvest can be stored until spring. Therefore, the dish can be prepared at the end of winter or already in March.

"Geneva F1"

Everything about this variety is perfect. The heads are perfectly round, the taste is excellent, and the shelf life is 8-9 months.

"Geneva" does not crack during growth. You will definitely want to use one or two heads of cabbage for making cabbage rolls or for salad. The rest of the fruits are great for pickling.
