Types of Cabbage And When To Use Them
- Green cabbage: this is the one you think of when you think of cabbage! This is good for just about everything! This cabbage holds up well in both cold dishes like classic coleslaw as well as in cooked dishes like cabbage soup or cabbage dumplings!
- Red cabbage: can be used in much the same way as green baggage as their texture is almost identical. Red cabbage is especially pretty when added to your coleslaw mix! You might also love it cooked like in a sauteed red cabbage recipe! The red color can bleed in some recipes so when in doubt, try using green cabbage instead.
- Napa cabbage: this type of tender cabbage is most like a lettuce and is ready to eat as-is! Perfect for eating as cabbage wedges drizzled with a bit of olive oil and apple cider vinegar. This variety wilts quickly so use it quickly.
- Savoy cabbage: This is probably the prettiest type of cabbage and is an especially great leaf for wrapping cabbage rolls! A great addition to your list of favorite leafy vegetables!
Any of these types cabbage leaves can be used in various ways so don’t be afraid to experiment a little!
