Anyone grown Tronchuda, Portuguese cabbage

6 years ago

I've seen this in several catalogs in the last few years and am curious about it. I grow and like many brassicas, and in the last two years have grown Senposai ( a cross between Komatsuma and cabbage). It's a terrific, tender and delicious green--huge green leaves that you pick as you need and which quickly regrow. For me, in my ever hotter climate, it's an early direct sow and lasts into July when either the heat makes it bolt or aphids under the row covers do it in.


So I'm wondering whether Tronchuda is pretty much another Senposai or different enough to be worth growing in addition.

And what about the flavor--pretty much cabbagey? Any cooking tips?
