Try This New Refreshing Summer Slaw or Not Your Grandmother’s Cabbage Slaw
Opt for a sweet summer slaw that’s tastier than traditional cabbage with even more flavor than you’d expect.
Caraflex cabbage is now available on the Tap Root Fields Root To You Farmstand. But before you nix it thanks to traditional recipes that you maybe weren’t so fond of as a kid, try this one out. Tap Root Field Team Member Jamie Hunt says this European style slaw is not the kind your grandma used to feed to you. “It’s sweeter and more flavorful and doesn’t have that sulfur taste that other cabbages have,” he says.
Caraflex Cabbage is in season right now and will be available through October. Jamie adds that it’s a manageable size and offers more ‘bang for your buck.’ Look for the cone shaped cabbage on the farmstand and while you’re at it, opt for some of our hot sauce and spicy maple drizzle too. All are available for pickup daily at 4272 Jordan Road in Skaneateles.
