Green Cabbage

Green cabbage, often referred to as **cannonball cabbage** for its dense, compact, and round head, is the most widely cultivated and recognized variety. * **Appearance:** Its outer leaves are typically medium to light green, fading to a pale green or white toward the core. The leaves are smooth and packed tightly together, giving the head a firm structure. * **Flavor and Texture:** When eaten raw, it has a crunchy texture and a slightly peppery flavor. When cooked, the flavor becomes milder and sweeter. * **Best Uses:** Its firmness and crunch make it the top choice for shredding into **coleslaw** and for fermentation into **sauerkraut**. It can also be braised, steamed, or used in soups.
