Cabbage- (Brassica)
Cabbage comes in red or green shades with tightly layered leaves
Cabbage can be served raw in salads or slaw, boiled, braised, stewed, steamed, stir fry, or stuffed. It is a very versatile vegetable.

Chinese cabbage- This more delicate cabbage needs less cooking time can be grilled or used in salads
Savoy cabbage- The “pretty” cabbage with crinkly textured leaves, also nice to use as an edible garnish on you dishes.
Store your cabbage in the refrigerator in a lightly sealed plastic bag for 1-2 weeks. If the cabbage is already sliced it will last in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. For longer storage, cabbage does well in a root cellar (aka fancy name for a cool, dark place… Jess uses a plastic crate in her basement.)
Vitamin C, K, B6 and folate
Sauerkraut is a fast an easy way to use cabbage and keep it tasty for even longer! (Well, the prep is easy, but it takes about a week or so before it gets good). 
Jess made this sauerkraut with crabapples and caraway, it was pretty great!
Not sure what to do with that cabbage? Eggroll in a Bowl is a quick and flexible weeknight option, and when I say flexible, I mean FLEXIBLE! You can make this paleo, gluten free, vegetarian…. So grab your cabbage, carrots, and protein of your choosing, and the rest is up to you and your imagination. It’s also a healthy (and dare I say tastier) alternative to the deep fried crunchy version from your favorite takeout joint, so pull up some ingredients and make it your own!
Nan’s famous cabbage roll recipe with a few tweaks for modern day convenience. Adapted from the “Taste of Home” magazine, this one fuses lasagna with galumpkis in a satisfying way! The non-cabbage lovers in my household can’t resist it… A can of Campbells tomato soup is one of Nan’s secret ingredients, and doesn’t live on the “Staples” list in Veggiescope so you’ll have to make a trip to the grocery store, but I’m willing to bet it’s good without it, too.
