**Ann** Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 when we got our grocery order, the store accidentally gave us two heads of cabbage instead of 1 cabbage and 1 lettuce. My husband didn't recognize the difference when he put the groceries away, and I didn't notice it until the next day, so a little late to make the exchange since my husband also tossed the receipt. We would never, ever, go through 2 heads of cabbage in a week. I would like to freeze the other one, I'm thinking of shredding it and freezing it. Anyone successfully do this?

trezkholl0806 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I haven't done that, but.... I think cabbage stays good for a while in the fridge (uncooked). I bought some, I'm wanting to say a week or two prior, and thought, oh man I didn't cook that yet, I'm sure it's bad. It was fine! I just peeled off the outer edges. hope this helps.

**Ann** Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 ok, maybe I will just wait it out. I don't buy cabbage often, only when I plan on making coleslaw, so its not something i typically will have laying around for more than a week because I bought with a recipe in mind.

jent103 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm with Trez - cabbage keeps awhile, especially red cabbage (though I guess you have the green, or else it wouldn't have gotten confused with the lettuce!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trezkholl0806 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Speaking of cabbage, the cabbage that I made (it was red), I went by the Roasted Cabbage Roses in Well Fed 2 - and it's DELICIOUS! Definitely work a try (the recipe calls for green, btw).... yum! (eating some now, haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Shredded cabbage, sauteed in your choice of fat (bacon is awesome), can be stored in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khhdesign Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 One of my favorite meals is sausage cooked with cabbage and apples. So good, I think we're having it for dinner tomorrow. Also try an Asian-style pickled slaw, different from the classic mayonnaise type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahInParis Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I agree that cabbage can be kept successfully a really long time without going bad. I've frozen it after cooking, never before - texture changes a bit, becomes softer, but not bad. There are some great cabbage recipes out there, just sautéed with onion is a good side dish with any meat. And many great salads beyond coleslaw.
