Cabbage

Cabbage is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the Brassica family, alongside broccoli and cauliflower. It grows in round or elongated heads and is widely cultivated in many parts of the world. Cabbage is known for its crisp texture and slightly peppery flavour, making it a versatile ingredient in various dishes.

Cabbage is typically grown in fields and harvested when the heads are firm and dense. After harvesting, the outer leaves are removed, and the cabbage is cleaned before being chopped, shredded, or left whole for sale. It can be eaten raw in salads, pickled for sauerkraut, cooked in soups and stir-fries, or even fermented for dishes like kimchi.

Cabbage is a common ingredient in many dishes due to its nutritional value and versatility in cooking. It is often used to add crunch and flavour to salads, coleslaw, and sandwiches. In soups and stews, cabbage can enhance the overall taste and texture of the dish. Its high vitamin C content also provides a nutritional boost to meals, making it a popular choice for consumers looking to incorporate more vegetables into their diet.
