I found this chart depicting the types of cabbage. I was surprised that bok choy and choy sum are in the cabbage family. Are you familiar with all these types of cabbage?
There are so many different kinds. We normally just use the basic cheap kind at the grocery store. It is the universal vegetable. I love red cabbage kraut. An old family favorite is Hungarian Chicken where onion and cabbage and chicken simmered in white wine. Oh..and cold cannon (an Irish dish). And so many Chinese dishes where cabbage is the ground work for making the dish a staple on the menu..and of course kimchi. But I'm finding I love kimchi from cucumbers to radishes too.
You learn something new every day. I didn't realize there were so many varieties of cabbage. I guess that's because I've eaten only one variety of cabbage. As long as I have one variety of cabbage to make sauerkraut I'm OK.
We enjoy eating cabbage ... Did you know there are over 400 different varieties of cabbage grown throughout the world, from round to conical in shape; with flat or curly, tight, or loose leaves; and in green, white, red, and purple colours.

Interesting! Seems like kale should be on the poster too. The Tuscan cabbage appears a little like kale. Linda in Kansas
I had no idea bok choy was a kind of cabbage, or that there were so many kinds of cabbage! Thanks for sharing!
Hope that you are having a great weekend! Was a hot and sunny one here :)
Away From The Blue
I am surprised that Brussels sprout wasn't on the list.
I was not aware. I love red cabbage and a green one I am sure that is in the pic I am just not sure which one...lol

Linda I agree that kale should be on the list thanks.
You are right it is also a member of the cabbage family!
Those dishes sound good!

Yes, I am aware of all the types but we don't get them here. I use cannon ball and red. I did grow cabbage last year and it was delish.
I know all but one! Hugs, Valerie
Only two - ...
Who'd a thought there were so many forms of cabbage.
Have a good Sunday.
all are evil! lol
I'm familiar with most of them, but I sure didn't know there were white, green and canonball cabbages.
I been thinking about bok choy the other day.
Coffee is on and stay safe
I did not know about white and green cabbage. The Oriental market by us had about five different types of 'choy'.
