Imzadi, Where have you been? Cabbage has long been a staple for most of the country. Actually 99.5% of folks will let their cabbage head up. If they want leaves they plant collards. If they are the OS Cross, Walmart was giving them away this year, they form huge heads. Cabbage can be used raw ( cole slaw) pickled (saurkraut) fried, steamed and boiled. There are variations for each of those preparation methods. In some parts of country, the outer part of the head is used to make cabbage rolls and stuffed cabbbge.
