Futog Cabbage, a historic heirloom variety, has been cultivated in the Futog region of Serbia since the 18th century, with the first recorded export to Vienna in 1760. Over centuries, it has developed unique properties, both for fresh consumption and souring. This variety was selectively bred over generations, resulting in a cabbage with remarkable flavor and texture. It thrives in the fertile soil of the Pannonian lowland, benefiting from the geographic climate and traditional farming practices passed down through the ages. 🌿
Historical Significance: The Futog cabbage dates back to the reign of Empress Maria Theresia, with a long history of cultivation in the Futog region.
Size & Shape: The cabbage forms dense heads with tightly packed, crisp leaves, making it ideal for both fresh use and for fermentation.
Flavor: Known for its distinctive, mildly sweet flavor, making it perfect for fresh consumption (salads, slaws) as well as for pickling or souring.
Agroecological Adaptation: Thrives in the Pannonian lowland, where the soil and climate are ideal for growing high-quality cabbage.
Sowing Time: Best sowed early in the season to maximize growth potential, producing large, dense heads by late summer or fall.
Sowing: Sow seeds in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Temperature: Ideal temperature for germination is around 18-22°C. Ensure the cabbage receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Regular watering is essential for consistent growth, but avoid excess water to prevent rot.
Space: Give plants 12–18 inches of space between them to allow for optimal head development.
Harvesting: Harvest the cabbage when heads are firm and compact. For souring, harvest when mature and process promptly.
