Having originated in western Europe, cabbage is a very sturdy vegetable which was domesticated about 200 years ago. Prior to that time, cabbage was picked wild as a medicinal herb. Used in coleslaw, soups, salads, casseroles, sauerkraut and a variety of side dishes, cabbage is low in calories and big in flavor. Instead of lettuce, try cabbage in salads, sandwiches, wraps or tacos, particularly in hot weather.
Cabbage Soup
Onions, beans, carrots, lentils, celery, peppers and your favorite vegetables, chopped.
Your favorite seasonings.
Simmer for hours until the house smells yummy and the vegetables have softened.
Serve with Grilled Tomato and Cheese sandwiches, Whole Wheat Muffins or Cornbread.
For a change in taste, try adding white "navy" beans for extra texture and protein.
