About Spitskool

Spitskool, known in English as "pointed cabbage," is a variety of leafy green cabbage distinguished by its elongated, cone-like shape. Originating in Europe, it is commonly featured in Dutch, German, and Eastern European cuisines, where its tender texture and mild flavor make it ideal for salads, stir-fries, and steamed dishes. Nutritionally, Spitskool is a powerhouse, rich in vitamins C and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants, which are beneficial for immune support, bone health, and digestion. Its lower water content compared to regular cabbage gives it a sweeter taste and makes it easier to digest for some individuals. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, Spitskool is a versatile and heart-healthy ingredient in various recipes. However, overcooking can diminish its nutritional value and lead to a stronger, sometimes less appealing taste. Enjoy it fresh or lightly cooked to maintain its full flavor and health benefits.
