Notes

Smart Shopping Tips
  • Choose tight, heavy heads of cabbage free of insects and decay. Avoid heads that have discolored leaves or a split core.
  • Cabbage shouldn’t be washed before storage. It can be stored loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Once it has been cut, use it within a few days.
Cooking & Serving Tips:
  • Techniques commonly used for cooking cabbage are boiling, braising, sautéing, steaming and  stir-frying. Over-cooking cabbage may result in unpleasant odors.
  • Make memorable meals with even the simplest foods by getting the flavors and textures right. Cabbage works well with these foods: apples, apple cider, bacon, butter, caraway seeds, carrots, cream, garlic, ginger, juniper berries, mayonnaise, dry mustard, onions, pepper, pork, potatoes, kosher salt, rice and vinegar.
