The cabbage, or brassica family is huge, and includes everything from the familiar red, white or green varieties with tightly packed leaves.
The flavour of cabbage varies from type to type, ranging from savoury to gently sweet, but one thing they all have in common is a rank smell if overcooked, so brief cooking is key.

For loose-leaved varieties, remove old or damaged outer leaves, cut the leaves free of the core and slice out any tough central stalks. Rinse if necessary, then chop or slice. For tightly-packaged cabbages, strip the outer leaves in the same way, wash, then slice into quarters, cut out the hard central core on each one, then chop or shred.

Loose leaved cabbages will keep in a cool, dark place for several days. Tight leaved varieties will last even longer.
