Cabbage is packed with fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants—great for gut health, immune support, and steady energy. It’s low in calories but high in volume and texture, making meals more satisfying without extra effort. Red cabbage also brings extra phytonutrients for brain and body support.

Cabbage often comes fresh or frozen. The frozen types are amazing for quick sides. Some even come prepacked with delicious butters. When buying fresh:

• Choose firm, heavy heads with crisp, tight leaves.
• Look for vibrant colour—no brown edges or limp outer leaves.
• Half-heads or pre-shredded are great if you’re short on time or energy.
• Organic isn’t essential, but check freshness—cabbage keeps well when stored right.

When buying frozen:

• Choose local just because its frozen doesn't mean it needs to travle. Choose cabbage from your own country.
• Look for minimal ingredients—no sugaror funny preservatives are needed to make cabbage delicious.
• Flavour bombs included flavoured butters in frozen cabbage have eveything you need a full veg and flavour bomb in a single package.

• Whole heads: Store in the fridge crisper for up to 2 weeks, sometimes longer.
• Cut cabbage: Wrap tightly in cling film or a beeswax wrap and use within a few days.
• Shredded leftovers: Store in a sealed container. Add to stir-fries or slaws to reduce waste.
• Freeze? Only if cooked first—braised or stir-fried cabbage freezes well for future sides.

• Quarter it and cut out the core before slicing or shredding.
• Use a mandoline or sharp knife for super-fine slaw.
• Toss with salt and rest for 10 mins to soften raw cabbage before dressing.
• No time? Just chuck rough chunks in a roasting tray with oil and seasoning.
