Cabbage
FridgeMost cabbage recipes will tell you exactly what type of cabbage you should be using, but it’s good to know the different varieties so you can make your own decisions. For instance, napa cabbage makes an amazing coleslaw even if white is called for. Some common types of cabbage include napa or Chinese, red, white, and savoy. They all have slightly different tastes and textures. Whatever cabbage you buy though, they’re all great sources of vitamins, are full of fiber, and are a low-calorie addition to a balanced diet. If it’s the idea of having to cut cabbage which is putting you off adding it to your dinners, we’ve got you. It’s best to remove the outer leaves as they can be tough. Start by cutting it in half from top to bottom, going through the middle of the stem. Then place it flat-side down and cut each half in two again, so you now have four quarters. From here, you can slice or shred them finely, cut them once more to make 1/8ths, or leave them as is for roasting. It’s also easy to remove the tough white core once they have been quartered. And if you have a food processor or mandoline, remember that it can help you get finely chopped or shredded cabbage for coleslaw too.
