Sweetheart, or Pointed Cabbage not only has a beautiful shape but a lovely, mild delicate flavour. It's easy to grow and I had no problems with aphid attacks with this variety, which can be a plague to members of the cabbage family, hence this beauty was unearthed from the patch. 

​

Eat Sweetheart cabbage raw in salads or cook lightly in butter or oil, or see my recipe below for Maple Braised Cabbage.

​Note; to get rid of aphids naturally, dissolve 4-5 drops of peppermint oil in a small spray bottle and spray on affected areas of the plant.
