How to choose cabbage

by Cookthink

Choose cabbages that look fresh and healthy -- with no wilted or limp leaves, slime, black or brown spots or blemishes. The leaves of firm green or red cabbages should be compact and tight; the leaves of softer cabbages like Savoy and Napa should look healthy and crisp with well-defined veins in their leaves. All cabbages should feel heavy for their size.
