Cabbage
Cabbage is a leafy vegetable forming compact heads or looser clusters, eaten raw or cooked, with varieties ranging from green and white to red-purple or savoyed.
About Cabbage
Cabbage is a leafy vegetable that forms a compact head or, in some varieties, a looser cluster of leaves. Edible leaves may be green, white, red-purple, or savoyed and crinkled, and are used raw in slaws and salads or cooked in vegetable dishes.
Raw cabbage has a crisp, watery texture, while cooking makes it softer. Flavour ranges from mild and slightly sweet to more pronounced and sulfurous, especially after prolonged cooking; variety, maturity, and preparation affect these characteristics.
Markets may offer whole heads, trimmed leaves, shredded cabbage, or fermented preparations. Steaming, boiling, braising, stir-frying, stuffing, and fermenting change its texture and flavour, while cutting and processing alter the form and cooking time.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Identify the cabbage type and edible portion, including trimmed leaves, core, or shredded material. Raw, steamed, boiled, braised, fermented, and stir-fried forms differ in water content, texture, and accompanying ingredients. Record oils, salt, sauces, and fillings separately when the cabbage is part of a prepared dish.
Compare the right form: Match references to the stated cabbage species or variety and edible raw or cooked portion, distinguishing whole leaves, shreds, core, fermented, and prepared forms.
Diet considerations
Cabbage is a plant ingredient. Compatibility changes with animal broth, meat fillings, dairy, fish sauces, cereal coatings, and fermented or pickled recipes. Plain raw or cooked cabbage differs from slaws, rolls, kimchi-style preparations, and stews; added ingredients and portion size determine the dish’s carbohydrate pattern.
