Cabbage

A sturdy, filling vegetable that keeps far longer than most fresh produce. Works raw in slaws or cooked in soups and stir-fries. A single head goes a long way.

How to use it

  • Peel off and discard any wilted or damaged outer leaves.
  • Cut the head in half through the core. Lay each half flat and slice into strips, or chop into chunks. The core is tough and fibrous - cut it out and discard.
  • For raw slaws: slice as thin as you can. For soups and stir-fries: roughly chop into 1-inch pieces.
  • Raw cabbage has a strong smell that softens completely when cooked.

Storage

  • A whole head of cabbage keeps in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer.
  • Once cut, wrap the remaining cabbage tightly and use within a few days.
