Green Cabbage


Scientific Binomial Name: Brassica oleracea var. capitata

Selection Information


Usage: Salads, casseroles, soups, stews, coleslaw.

Selection: Good quality Cabbage will be semi-solid, well-rounded and fairly heavy in relation to size. Even green coloring means good flavor and vitamin content. Fairly thick and pliable leaves will be more tender and juicy.

Avoid: Avoid cabbage that has thin, wilted leaves which are a sign of old product. Light-colored heads that are very solid mean all core and less taste. Oblong and cracked heads mean poor quality from growing conditions.
