Best Answer

Many plants have a waxy (hydrocarbon) coating. In some cases this appears to inhibit the loss of water. We can polish an apple, because we smooth out the waxy coating on its skin. With apples, it appears that the storage life of the apple is influenced by this coating. No doubt cabbages have a similar strategy.
