Cabbage is a type of green plant in the cabbage family. In the wild, it is mostly found in Europe, especially in the Mediterranean. Its many species, crosses, and varieties are grown as a vegetable in many parts of the world. Cabbage's relatives include Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and kale.
Contrary to popular belief, cabbage is a healthy, not-so-digestible vegetable. It owes its bad reputation mainly to heavy, high-calorie additives such as bacon or knuckle of pork. 100 g of cabbage contains about 40 kcal and is rich in vitamins - A, B, C, E and K - and minerals - calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron.
Cabbage can be prepared in many ways. Most often it is served raw in the form of salads, but nothing prevents you from boiling, frying or stewing it. Among the traditional dishes of Polish cuisine that cannot be missed, we should mention bigos, stuffed cabbage and cabbage soup. In search of new culinary experiences with its use, it is also worth trying Asian cuisine.
In addition to the characteristic shape, pointed cabbage is characterized by juicy, crisp leaves that are less dense at the top. The taste does not differ much from its relatives, but it is slightly milder and even slightly sweet.
