Abyssinian Cabbage

Abyssinian Cabbage, scientifically known as Brassica carinata, is an annual plant native to the highlands of Eritrea and Ethiopia. This hardy vegetable thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring moist soil that can range from light (sandy) to heavy (clay). Standing up to 1 meter tall, it is valued for its edible leaves, which can be harvested throughout the growing season. While primarily grown for its culinary uses, Abyssinian Cabbage also adds ornamental value to gardens with its robust form and adaptability in various soil types.
