This lesson is all about cabbage. Cabbages fall in a much larger family of vegetables called the brassicas, which includes everything from turnips and rutabagas to broccoli and cabbage. Cabbages are probably eaten more than any of the other brassicas and can therefore be considered the king of brassicas. Napa cabbage, Savoy cabbage, red cabbage, and green cabbage are all varieties. When buying cabbage, look for a cabbage that is heavy for its size.
