Spitskool is the quick, tender summer cabbage, cut from May to October.
Light, loosely packed cone with glossy leaves.
Vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and glucosinolates. Lighter than a white cabbage, and quicker to cook.
To get the most: A short stir-fry or raw slaw keeps the vitamin C; it is a quick cabbage, treat it that way.
