This flathead cabbage is easy to spot due to the size and shape of the head. In the summer season, the heads can grow up to 6 pounds in weight. Seasons do indeed impact the size of the head grown. In summers large-headed flat cabbages are available, and during winters you can enjoy small-headed. The taste and texture, however, remain the same.

In Taiwan, the cabbage is known by the name Li Sun Sweet cabbage or Li Sun cabbage. That is because of the region it is grown in, with the ‘sweet’ bit referring to its natural flavor. It is popular for its distinctly sweet taste.
