Buying Tip |
Look for crisp looking leaves and stems. For compact varieties, only three of four outer leaves should be open and separate from the head.

|
Storage |
Place cabbage in a paper bag and keep in the refrigerator vegetable crisper. Green and red cabbage will keep for 2 weeks; the other varieties will keep for 1 week. |
|
Preparation |
Wash the cabbage. Shred, slice or cut wedges for the more compact varieties. Bok choy can be cut in small bite size pieces. Cabbage can be braised, boiled, sautéed, steamed, stir-fried or microwaved. Equivalents one 1 1/2 pound cabbage = 8 cups, shredded |

Use |
Cabbage is relatively bland in taste. Overcooking tends to bring out an unpleasant odor. Quick cooking methods will keep cabbage crisp and relatively odor free. Use raw cabbage in salads and cole slaw. Serve cabbage as a vegetable side dish or stuff to make cabbage rolls. |

Flavor Enhancers |
Apples, pears, raisins, curry, caraway, dill |
