Sangria

A Compact Solution for Fresh Market Professionals

The leaf cabbage variety 'Sangria', developed by VNIISSOK, occupies a unique niche in modern vegetable production. Unlike traditional cabbage varieties, this hybrid is designed exclusively for the fresh market, where the priority is tender, succulent greens rather than dense heads.

Key Characteristics and Agronomic Potential

The defining feature of 'Sangria' is its ability to form a compact rosette weighing between 0.5 and 1.0 kg. This size is ideal for retail chains, as it matches consumer demand for single-family meal portions, thereby reducing food waste. The vibrant green color of the leaves remains stable even during extended storage periods, giving the product a competitive edge on the shelf.

• Culinary Versatility: The leaves are exceptionally juicy and free from excessive toughness, making them a perfect base for salads, healthy green smoothies, and restaurant plate garnishes.
• Adaptability: The plant shows good plasticity to various growing conditions, a testament to the long-term breeding efforts of the VNIISSOK institute.

Who is this variety for?

'Sangria' is the choice for farms specializing in the fresh segment and supply chains for the HoReCa industry. It does not compete with industrial-grade cabbage intended for fermentation but rather enriches the diet of health-conscious consumers. A significant advantage is the minimal post-harvest processing required. However, its use is specialized: if your goal is long-term winter storage or industrial processing, this variety is not a substitute for mid-to-late season hybrids.
