Káposzta (“KAA-POSTA”) or fejeskáposzta is one of the most widely grown and eaten vegetables in Hungary. It is used to make the popular töltött káposzta, savanyúkáposzta and székelykáposzta, and is found in many salads.
In addition to the “standard” green and red cabbage (vöröskáposzta) that is most common in markets Hungarians are also fond of Savoy Cabbage, or or kelkáposzta.
An annual festival centered around cabbage growing and consumption, the Demecser Cabbage Days, is held in the northeastern town of Demecser every September.
