QuestionIs it better to buy a whole cabbage or a half/quarter cabbage?
wikiHow Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerCabbage is best bought whole because all the nutrients and freshness are intact. Once the cabbage has been cut, it begins to lose quality. However, it is still good if consumed quickly after purchase and it is often a cheaper and more convenient way to get it. It really depends on whether or not you have the space to store a whole cabbage in your fridge or if it’s easier to store smaller quantities. -

Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerCabbage goes mushy when overcooked. It doesn’t need to be cooked for long, so the best cooking methods if you tend to overcook are steaming or sautéing. If you boil cabbage, be aware that it is very easy to over boil it and this is what makes it go mushy and smelly. -

QuestionMy mother used to add bicarbonate of soda to the boiling cabbage water. Is this right?
Community AnswerAdding bicarbonate of soda makes the water more alkaline. Cooking foods in water that is more alkaline can reduce the bitterness and acidity of some kinds of foods. Mostly, it's a matter of personal preference. If you like the way cabbage tastes when you add bicarbonate of soda to the water, there is no reason not to cook it this way.
