Cabbage

One of the first plants taken from the wild in Europe, cabbage has remained a popular source of nutrition in our diet. Chinese cabbage originated in the Orient, and has only recently become more popular in North America. All types of cabbage offer a wide variety of cooking options, from shredded for slaw, to pickled for sauerkraut, to stir-fried, boiled, stuffed, or use fresh for salads.
