The Cabbage Comeback

One of the smartest buys in the produce aisle isn’t new or trendy. It’s cabbage.
Affordable, versatile and packed with fiber, it’s one of those everyday ingredients that helps stretch both your meals and your grocery budget.

A single head costs just a few dollars and can easily be adapted across several meals.
Shred it into a quick stir-fry, roast wedges alongside pork chops or sausage, simmer it into a soup, or slice it thin for a crisp slaw. Its mild flavor takes on whatever it’s cooked with, so the same head of cabbage can become something completely different from one meal to the next.

Paired with your favorite protein—chicken, beef, pork, salmon, beans, or sausage—it adds texture and staying power, turning simple ingredients into a satisfying dinner for any night of the week.

Best of all, cabbage is one of the longest-lasting vegetables around. A whole head can keep for weeks in the refrigerator, so it’s ready whenever you are; no rushing to use it before it wilts.

If cabbage hasn’t been in your regular rotation lately, this is the season to bring it back. Sometimes the smartest ingredients are the ones that have been there all along.
