Cabbage is an annual plant characterized by its smooth leaves forming a head. Its pale green color and strong flavor, sometimes sweet, make it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Native to the Vega de Aranjuez, San Martín de la Vega, and Ciempozuelos, this vegetable can be eaten raw in salads, shredded into fine strips, or cooked in broths and stews. Its use is particularly notable in recipes like rolls, where the leaves are separated and boiled to be filled with meat or fish. To store it, it's recommended to keep it in a bag with holes in the refrigerator. Its nutritional value is significant, providing 26 kcal per 100 grams, as well as a good amount of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
