Tips and Tricks

How to pick a perfect head: look for firm, dense leaves with no soft spots.
Storage hack: wrap in paper towels and seal in a plastic bag; keeps for 2–3 weeks in the fridge.
Maximizing flavor: sweat shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and a splash of acid (vinegar or lemon) before frying or roasting.
Cutting technique: slice from root end for long ribbons in slaws, or chop across for bite-sized pieces that caramelize beautifully.
Texture control: blanch cabbage briefly to soften, or char wedges directly under the broiler for smoky depth.
