Flat cabbage is characterized by its flattened shape and density. This variety is voluminous, but lighter than green cabbage. It has thin, tender leaves that detach easily from each other and have a slightly sweet taste. It's also excellent for your health, as it's rich in minerals and vitamins.
Purchase guide
Choose a firm, slightly moist, blemish-free cabbage. Prioritize those whose color is uniform over the entire surface of the cabbage. When you pick it up, it should be heavy and compact.
Consumption
Flat cabbage is best eaten raw, shredded into salads for a crunchy texture and sweet taste. You can also cook it in a variety of ways, such as sautéing it in a pan to accompany several dishes, or steaming it to preserve its tender texture. Finally, its broad leaves make a good choice for wrapping garnishes.
