Coldong

/ˈkoʊldɔŋ/ noun

Definition

A traditional type of edible plant or vegetable, possibly a variant or related species of cabbage or similar brassica.

Etymology

The etymology is uncertain; possibly from an Asian language term, or a regional English dialect word. The specificity of the term suggests it may be a historical or botanical classification.

Kelly Says

Coldong is so obscure that even vegetable encyclopedias struggle with it—which means either it's a lost crop that nobody grows anymore, or it's a regional name that never made it into standard gardening!
