#Repost @slowfood_international (@get_repost) ・・・ The word Filderkraut – a generic term indicating pointed cabbages growing in the Filder Region – designs a local product with a long ancient tradition. The special structure of the soil of the Filder Plain, particularly fertile and able to accumulate a constantly high percentage of nutrients and humidity, as well as the special microclimate, offer excellent growth conditions for the white pointed cabbage. After the Industrialization, canning industry of pickles began adopting primarily the round cabbage variety, as this was easier to be mechanically elaborated. If compared to the round #cabbage, the pointed cabbage determines a lower yield because besides a more difficult mechanical elaboration – i.e. in the production of Sauerkraut, where the long and hard stem can be bored only with a special tool – its pulp is extremely juicy.
