The best methods for storing whole, cut, or pre-cut cabbage.
Cut the cabbage into wedges or quarters, or shred it, depending on how you plan to use it later. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cabbage in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes.
Cabbage is one of the most affordable and long lasting greens you can buy. A whole head of fresh cabbage will last in the fridge for two weeks or longer when stored properly.
It is similar to sauerkraut, with the difference that it is prepared through the lacto-fermentation for several weeks of whole heads of cabbage, not separate leaves or grated mass. No vinegar or boiling is required. It is a homemade food preserve, commonly prepared in large barrels filled with whole cabbage heads and water salted with sea salt. [2]
Cabbage plants.

The origin of the word is unclear. The first syllable "col" likely comes from the Irish "cál", meaning cabbage. The second syllable may derive from "ceann-fhionn", meaning a white head (i.e. "a white head of cabbage."). This usage is also found in the Irish name for a coot, a white-headed bird known as "cearc cheannan" or "white-head hen.".
Cabbage’s crispy texture makes it perfect for fermenting in a brine. Soaking cabbage in a salt brine encourages the growth of good bacteria, otherwise known as probiotics.
