Cabbage is the ultimate cruiser vegetable with endless options. Here are 10 ways Nica uses cabbage on board.  

Summary 

Cabbage is a perfect vegetable for cruising. It stores well, is nutritious, and can be used in so many different ways. You can eat it both raw and cooked. 

Long after other vegetables have been eaten or spoiled, cabbage is still good. So what are some of those amazing options? 

You can add it to a stew or casserole for more fiber. It fills out a stir-fry when other vegetables are in short supply. Cabbage is delicious in slaw, both with mayonnaise and a vinaigrette dressing. Of course, kimchi and saurkraut are delicious options. And you can roast it in your oven or on the grill. 

So how do you make the most of it while cruising?

First, don't cut into the head. Take individual leaves off, leaving the solid core.

Second, store it in a cool, dark place. There's no need to refrigerate it. 

Third, if it starts to rot (and you'll smell it, if it does), just cut off the bad part and continue to use the rest. 

For more suggestions on how to use cabbage while cruising, listen to the full podcast or read the transcript on The Boat Galley website.
