Preparation & storage
Wash the cabbage and remove the outer leaves. Cut cabbage into quarters, remove the stalk, wash the pieces and cut or shave into strips/pieces.
Do not overcook red cabbage. Long cooking loses flavour, texture and vitamins.
Red cabbage retains its colour better if you add lemon juice or vinegar to the water when cooking.
For salads, first pour boiling water over finely chopped red cabbage. The real rawness is then removed.
