• There are 3 types of Cabbage we eat in NZ red cabbage, savoy cabbage and green cabbage.
• Cabbage is good for our digestive system.
• Cabbage take around 70 days to grow from seed.
• We tried Okonomiyaki a Japanese cabbage fritter. It was delicious.
• Cabbage was used a long time ago as bandages to help with swelling. We tried cabbage bandages and we thought they felt cold, sticky and slimy.
