About Pointed cabbage

Pointed cabbage is a compact cabbage with a tapered, conical head and closely layered leaves. Its outer leaves are usually green, while the inner leaves are paler; the texture is crisp when raw and becomes tender when cooked, with a mild, slightly sweet cabbage flavour.

It can be sliced for salads or slaws, cooked by steaming, sautéing, or braising, and used in soups. Heads vary in size and leaf tenderness, and the name describes a shape rather than a single cultivar, so appearance and cooking time can differ.
