Cabbage is an inexpensive staple cultivated throughout the world and available throughout the year. However, it is at its best during the late fall and winter months when it is in season. Choose cabbage heads that are firm and dense with shiny, crisp, colorful leaves free of cracks, bruises, and blemishes. Severe damage to the outer leaves suggests worm damage or decay that may reside in the inner core as well. There should be only a few outer loose leaves attached to the stem. If not, it may be an indication of undesirable texture and taste. Avoid buying pre-cut cabbage, either halved or shredded, because once cabbage is cut, it begins to lose its valuable vitamin C content.
