Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between green and red cabbage?
Red cabbage has more vitamin C and contains anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants that give it color). Green cabbage is milder in flavor and more tender. Both are highly nutritious.
Why does cooked cabbage smell?
Sulfur compounds in cabbage release when heated, especially with prolonged cooking. To minimize odor: cook briefly, add acid (vinegar/lemon), or add bread to the pot. Don't overcook.
