Storage
You can store pointed cabbage in the fridge for several weeks. It can also be stored on the fruit rack, but its shelf life will be shorter.

Ready-to-eat (pre-cut) pointed cabbage can be kept in the fridge for a few days, covered with cling film.

Fresh pointed cabbage can be kept in the freezer after blanching (2-4 minutes) for up to 12 months.

Cooked pointed cabbage can be kept in the fridge for 2 days or in the freezer for 3 months in a sealed storage container.

How can you tell if fresh pointed cabbage is no longer good? The cabbage is mouldy or discoloured. You can recognise this decay by smelling or looking carefully.

Preparing
Wash the pointed cabbage with plenty of water. Cut the pointed cabbage lengthwise. If necessary, remove the outer leaves and cut out the stalk. Then you can cut the pointed cabbage into strips and prepare it further.
