About Chou vert

Chou vert is a broad French name for green cabbage: a tightly layered, rounded head of pale to medium green leaves. The leaves are crisp and juicy raw, with a mild, slightly peppery cabbage flavour that becomes softer and more mellow when cooked.

It is used raw in salads and slaws, or cooked in soups, braises, and other dishes. Heads are generally sold fresh, whole or cut. Because the name can also be used loosely for other green leafy cabbages, this draft refers to ordinary headed green cabbage.
