Cabbage is one of the oldest vegetables in existence and continues to be a dietary staple throughout the world.
Cabbage belongs to the Cruciferae family of vegetables, along with broccoli, collards, kale and Brussels sprouts. There are at least a hundred different types of cabbage grown throughout the world, but the most common types in the United States are the Green, Red, and Savoy varieties. The two most common types of Chinese cabbage are Bok Choy and Napa cabbage.
Cabbage can be steamed, boiled, braised, microwaved, stuffed, or stir-fried, and eaten raw.
