Plant leaves contain cells with chloroplasts which are important in the process of photosynthesis.
A cabbage rose is a plant of a hybrid rose species with large numbers of petals, or the fragrant flower of such a plant.
Lettuce leaves are easier to tear than cabbage leaves primarily due to their thinner and more delicate structure. Lettuce has a more tender texture with fewer cell layers, while cabbage leaves are thicker, denser, and have a stronger cellular structure due to their tightly packed cells. This makes cabbage leaves more resilient and less prone to tearing under stress. Additionally, the moisture content in lettuce contributes to its softness, further facilitating easier tearing.

Yes, you can harvest cabbage leaves from your garden by cutting them off at the base of the plant.
The part of the cabbage plant that we eat is a dense head of leaves borne on a relatively short stem; the loose leaves that grow below the head are also edible. In the case of other cabbage-family plants such as broccoli and cauliflower (and the more recently developed hybrid, broccoflower), we usually eat the clusters of undeveloped flower blossoms, but the leaves of these plants are also edible.
They become delicious saurkraut.

The cabbage white butterfly prefers to lay eggs on cabbage or nasturtium leaves because their caterpillars feed on these plants. Cabbage white butterfly caterpillars are specialized to digest compounds found in cabbage and nasturtium, allowing them to grow and develop successfully. This plant preference ensures the survival and growth of the next generation of butterflies.
No. Cabbage is negatively geotropic . The only part of the plant that is normally eaten is the leafy head; more precisely, the spherical cluster of immature leaves, excluding the partially unfolded outer leaves.
All parts of the cabbage plant are edible. Generally only the leaves are eaten and the buds of broccoli. Collard is in the same plant family and the flowers of collards are put in salads.
Not if it's fed in low quantities. Cabbage leaves contain oxalates that, though lower than that in rhubarb leaves, may still cause poisoning problems in cattle if fed too much.
