Green Savoy Cabbage

Discover the distinctive crinkled leaves and sweet, mild flavor of Green Savoy Cabbage, a versatile leafy green that brings both nutrition and culinary appeal to your kitchen. This European variety of cabbage stands out with its beautiful ruffled, dark green outer leaves and tender, pale green interior, offering a more delicate taste than traditional smooth cabbage varieties. Green Savoy cabbage has been a cornerstone of European cuisine for centuries, particularly popular in French, German, and Eastern European cooking traditions where its tender texture and subtle sweetness make it ideal for both raw and cooked preparations. The mild, slightly sweet flavor profile of Green Savoy cabbage makes it perfect for a wide range of culinary applications. Its tender leaves work beautifully in fresh slaws and salads, while the sturdy outer leaves are excellent for stuffed cabbage rolls, a beloved dish in Polish, Hungarian, and Romanian cuisines. The cabbage's natural sweetness becomes more pronounced when braised or sautéed, making it an excellent companion to hearty winter stews, roasted meats, and root vegetables. For best results when cooking Green Savoy cabbage, remove the thick center ribs from larger leaves and cut the tender portions into ribbons for quick sautéing with garlic and olive oil. The leaves also hold up well to longer cooking methods like braising with white wine and herbs. Store your Green Savoy cabbage in the refrigerator's crisper drawer where it will maintain its crisp texture and vibrant color for up to two weeks.
