Thin, richly flavored leaves Do not have the strong odor of green cabbage

CABBAGE Cabbage is cheap and widely used. Raw is delicious in salad or as coleslaw. Harvest large, unsplit heads that are tight and heavy. Can be steamed, boiled, microwaved or stir fried. Heads are solid, glossy and light green or purple in color. Cook just until tender using stainless steel pots. Stem end should be trimmed and not dry or split. Top half is more tender and shreds easier than the bottom. Fresh heads can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Green cabbage Mild flavor and crisp texture Dark outer leave and smooth pale inner leaves Overcooking results in a strong cabbage odor. Nine cups of shredded raw cabbage will result in 7 cups cooked. Do not rinse; cover loosely with a plastic bag. Add to pasta, soups, or stews or made into sauerkraut.
