The\u00a0red cabbage<\/b>\u00a0(purple-leaved varieties of\u00a0Brassica oleraceae var<\/em> Capitata ) is a kind of cabbage, also known as Blaukraut<\/b>. Its leaves are colored dark red\/purple. However, the plant changes its color according to the Ph value of the soil due to a pigment belonging to anthocyanis.<\/sup> In acidic soils, the leaves grow more reddish; in neutral soils, they will grow more purple, while an alkaline soil will produce rather greenish-yellow colored cabbages.<\/p>\n
