Description
Cabbage:
Cabbage is a leafy green, red, or purple vegetable that forms a dense head. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family, the same family as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. The leaves are smooth or crinkled and can be tightly or loosely packed, depending on the variety.
Cabbage has a crisp texture when raw and becomes soft and tender when cooked. It has a mild, slightly peppery flavor, which becomes sweeter when cooked. It’s commonly used in salads (like coleslaw), stir-fries, soups, curries, and pickles (like sauerkraut or kimchi).
Cabbage is rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. It is low in calories and supports digestion and overall health.
