On Saturday July 29, grower/shipper, Babé Farms, will debut its new Honey Cone Cabbage at the PMA Foodservice Fresh Ideas Showcase in Monterey, CA.
Compared to common cabbage varieties, Honey Cone Cabbage differentiates itself through its shape, texture and flavor. Honey Cone Cabbage is indeed cone-shaped. Its leaves, with variations of pea green colorings, are thin, broad, deeply veined, tightly enveloped lengthwise and bluntly pointed. The flavor of Honey Cone Cabbage is mild and remarkably sweet, void of that bold cruciferous flavor that is most reminiscent of cabbage. This versatile brassica is excellent eaten raw, grilled, seared, or roasted!
“The Honey Cone Cabbage has really struck a chord with us as Santa Maria natives. Barbecue is a crucial part of our culture and lifestyle here in Santa Maria and this cabbage is perfect for grilling,” said Babé Farms President and Owner, Jeff Lundberg. “Originally, I took home the cabbage and tried grilling it, and from the get-go, I knew it would be a homerun with the local community.”
Babé Farms boasts a year-round harvest of colorful baby and specialty vegetables. Family owned and operated for over 30 years, Babé Farms is the “couture” label top chefs and fine retailers look to for their gourmet vegetable needs.
“Babé Farms has always been known for pushing the envelope with our unique specialty vegetables of all shapes and colors. Our new Honey Cone Cabbage is no exception,” said Judy Lundberg-Wafer, Chairman of the Board and Owner of Babé Farms.
