Most of us associate cabbage with the round, waxy, light-green or purplish "heads" in the grocery store (or the pale shredded bits you see in bagged coleslaw mix). In fact, there are many varieties of cabbage available with differing shapes and colors. For example, savoy cabbage has curly leaves. And two Asian varieties - Napa and Bok Choy - are not round at all, but have elongated shapes with definite leafy parts. Cabbage belongs to the cruciferous family of vegetables, which includes kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Click to read now. http://www.healthcastle.com/month_cabbage.shtml
