For those of you who haven't noticed, I am very proud of my red cabbage ;)
harvested one little one to see if there is an actual cabbage in it, and indeed it is.
So here is my cabbage salad, carrots conveniently growing in the next bed.

Sliced red cabbage
scallion and a bit of apple cider vinegar
shredded carrot, salt and pepper

Both sound yummy!
Do you also eat the very core of the cabbage?

must say I haven't given it much thought, using it as a handle when slicing the cabbage

Glad to hear that you are really enjoying your home-grown bounty :).

I give pieces of the core to the dogs.

My mother had a Ukrainian/Polish word for the core that sounds like "cutchon" (accent on 2nd syllable). I'm not sure if that was a word for children or an actual word.

I must say I have considered it, but was afraid of the "aroma" that may result ;)

How was it? Was it as good as the bought organically grown one you had?

It's amazing, sweet without the bitter end taste, hope the large ones are the same.
totally different then the store bought.
of course the fact it was used about an hour after harvesting would have to make a difference too, can't imagine how long the veg spends on the store shelves
