Deep Red-Purple Heads with Sweet Flavor and Excellent Storage

'Ruby Ball' is a hybrid red cabbage variety that produces compact, round heads weighing 3-4 pounds with deep red-purple leaves. This reliable variety reaches maturity in 70-80 days and is known for its uniform heads and excellent storage quality. The vibrant color holds well when cooked, making it perfect for coleslaw, pickling, and adding color to salads. The sweet, mild flavor is less peppery than some red varieties.
