General Information

Cabbage is the vegetable I put into everything all winter long. It holds up great in storage and can be used in many ways. Most places around the world cultivate and eat cabbage in one form or another. Red cabbage can be used in the same way as green, however, the color can bleed into other items in the dish so it is often used grated and raw.



Storage Information

Cabbage stores great wrapped in plastic in your refrigerator. Don't remove tough wrapper leaves before storage as they help lengthen storage. It will be usable months later.

After long storage the outer leaves might need to be discarded, but the center is still good.

You can cut off sections of the head to use smaller amounts and store the remaining head wrapped in plastic. Depending on how long it is stored after being cut, you may need to slice off and discard the cut edge. Keep the unused portion in one piece to minimize waste.



Cooking Suggestions

Add chopped cabbage to soups, stews, stir-fries and burritos.


Saute with butter and onion and serve with noodles.


Steam and add to mashed potatoes.


Grate and toss with other grated root vegetables and season with your favorite vinaigrette.
