Cabbage: when it's in season and what to cook

Cabbage is usually at its best from October to March across much of the US. That includes now.

How to pick it

A good head is heavy and tight, with crisp outer leaves.

How to keep it

Whole heads keep for weeks in the crisper. Wrap a cut half tightly.

Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
