How To Cook Cabbage
Belonging to the cruciferous family, the same family as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, cabbage naturally comes in a few different shapes, sizes, and colors, each with its own different flavors, so the one you use to cook with is entirely up to you.
Just like these other vegetables, cabbage is a leafy vegetable, so you should cut off the thick leaves on the outside first before you begin to cook the softer inner leaves.
Cabbage is a popular vegetable to use because of how well it takes on and absorbs the herbs and spices it gets adorned with!
