Cabbage is prepared and consumed in many ways. The simplest options include eating the vegetable raw or steaming it, though many cuisines pickle, stew, sautée or braise cabbage.[24] Pickling is a common way of preserving cabbage, creating dishes such as sauerkraut and kimchi,[14] although kimchi is more often made from Chinese cabbage (B. rapa subsp. pekinensis).[24] Savoy cabbages are usually used in salads, while smooth-leaf types are utilized for both market sales and processing.[15] Bean curd and cabbage is a staple of Chinese cooking,[74] while the British dish bubble and squeak is made primarily with leftover potato and boiled cabbage and eaten with cold meat.[75]
In Poland, cabbage is one of the main food crops, and it features prominently in Polish cuisine. It is frequently eaten, either cooked or as sauerkraut, as a side dish or as an ingredient in such dishes as bigos (cabbage, sauerkraut, meat, and wild mushrooms, among other ingredients) gołąbki (stuffed cabbage) and pierogi (filled dumplings). Other eastern European countries, such as Hungary and Romania, also have traditional dishes that feature cabbage as a main ingredient.[76] In India and Ethiopia, cabbage is often included in spicy salads and braises.[77] In the United States, cabbage is used primarily for the production of coleslaw, followed by market use and sauerkraut production.[40]
