Cabbage, green

Red and green cabbage are similarly flavored and can be used raw in salads or cooked. Because the pigment of the red cabbage may color other foods, the green cabbage is a better choice for slaw and for cabbage rolls.

Substitute For Green Cabbage

If you don't have green cabbage you can substitute:

• Red cabbage if the pigment color is not an issue for your recipe.
• OR - Use Napa cabbage which has a more mild flavor.
• OR - Use Brussels sprouts which is particularly good shredded in salads or as a cooked vegetable.
• OR - Another alternative is Savoy cabbage which has dark crinkly leaves and works very well in soups, salads and stir-frys.  The leaves are softer than regular green cabbage.
