Popular Post Dancealot Posted April 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is a report on harvesting and selling cabbages. Cabbages are grown in 3 forms ready for the markets here.

Dancealot Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for the cabbage report DAL. That is a pretty big warehouse. What else is it used for? Yes it's big. In Lomsak to be precise. It's a small auction building, really. That day was a quiet day. Any vegetable changes hands here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOme great shots there VF Thanks, but they are just images from old blog posts, so very easy to share. I try not to go overboard with the sharing though, since I have way too many pictures.

Billmont Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have never seen a green cabbage that has been grown here in Thailand so where do they go? On my visit to Pattaya I usually buy a Savoy cabbage (Villa Market) but this has been imported from Australia together with Swedes and Parsnips. I shop in Freshmart Korat and occasionally get organic "Failed" Brussel sprouts so just small green leaves but very tasty. I love my greens but usually have to just put up with broccoli, which I like, but having a varity of greens is much preferable. Perhaps green cabbage is a Farang thing and not enough Farangs in Korat to warrant selling here and maybe they are just sent to markets where there are a lot of Farangs. When I am in Pattays perhaps I have just been unlucky in not seeing green cabbages but on our last day shopping is a bit of a rush and we just go to Villa Market.

I'm not sure whether most of the green cabbages that are grown in Thailand go for pickling or not. I usually only see the white or chinese type. Those "failed" brussel sprouts are are possibly cabbage. When the cabbage is cut, there is regrowth from the stem and these look like brussel sprouts that have not closed up. They are tastier than the original cabbaga IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assured by the sales girl, who speaks very good English, and is a representitive of the actual farm in Wang Nam Kaio that the small leaves are from Brussel Sprouts. I added the "Failed" bit as to me that is what they look like. Wang Nam Kaio is at the top of a "Thai Mountain" and cooler by a few degrees but I wonder if it is really cold enough to grow Brussels hence my idea that they are failed, but they taste very nice.

ozzydom Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Have you tried growing Savoy cabbage,? the reason I ask is because Villa here in Udon Have imported ones from OZ at the moment at the price of 550 baht a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
