Pointed Cabbage

March — May

A growing export crop in Spain

Pointed cabbage (also known as Hispi cabbage, Sweetheart cabbage, or Cone cabbage) is a premium specialty cabbage with a growing export market from Spain. Although volumes are much lower than white cabbage or broccoli, demand has increased across Northern Europe due to its sweeter flavour, tender leaves, and shorter cooking time. Production is concentrated in Murcia, Navarra, Castilla y León, Valencia, and Catalonia. The season starts in September and lasts until May, with limited availability during the summer season from cooler regions.
