• Cabbage is used primarily in salads, where it has a somewhat crispy feel and mild flavor. Fresh cabbage can be shredded and mixed with other vegetables such as carrots, onions, and bell peppers to create a vibrant coleslaw. It is usually served cold and dressed with a vinaigrette or mayonnaise, making it popular for picnics and barbecues where the salad can be made well ahead of time. In addition, fruits, nuts, or even cheeses can be added to create more elaborate salads based on cabbage. Furthermore, the rising awareness among people about the health benefits of eating salads is catalyzing the demand for fresh and healthy salad-making ingredients. In 2023, Salad Days announced its expansion in Bengaluru and planned to launch three cloud kitchens.
• Apart from salads, cabbage is also often used in soups and stews. Because it takes on different flavors well, cabbage is a great base in robust dishes such as borscht (beet soup) and minestrone, which is an Italian dish. Once cooked, the cabbage wilts down and its sweetness contributes to increases or deepens the flavor of various dishes. In addition, cabbage is used frequently in soups and stocks for a light flavoring to create more filling meals.
• Fermentation is another popular method of preparing cabbage, resulting in dishes such as sauerkraut and kimchi. Sauerkraut, a traditional German food, is made by fermenting finely shredded cabbage with salt. This process not only preserves the cabbage but also enhances its nutritional value by increasing the levels of beneficial probiotics. Similarly, kimchi, a staple in Korean cuisine, is made by fermenting cabbage with a mixture of spices, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce. The fermentation process creates a complex, tangy flavor and a host of health benefits, including improved digestion and a strengthened immune system. In 2024, Franklin Farms launched a refrigerated organic shredded kimchi.
• Cabbage is also widely used in stir-fries and other quick-cooking methods. Its firm leaves hold up well under high heat, making it a perfect addition to dishes such as Chinese-style stir-fried vegetables and Japanese okonomiyaki, a savory pancake. When sautéed or stir-fried, cabbage retains its crunch while developing a slightly caramelized, sweet flavor. This makes it a versatile component in a variety of cuisines, adding both texture and taste to numerous recipes.
