Cabbage is a good source of
vitamin C and right now this
vegetable is plentiful One serv
ing of cabbage furnishes about
one-third of the vitamin C a per
son needs each day, points out
Mrs. Ruth K. Kreibich, extension
home economist, Lancaster Coun
ty
Early green heads are not so
solid as those that appear later
on the market More mature
h,eads have white leaves and usual
ly cost two cents less per pound
than young green cabbage When
buying cabbage choose heads that
are solid and have a fresh, cusp
appearance
•Buying in too large quantity
means that a stionger flavor de
velops, but you can keep cabbage
for a week or so
Always cut cabbage with a
sharp knife to avoid bruising it
When serving cabbage raw, cut it
just before ready to serve In
this way little vitamin C is lost
When served raw, one pound
of cabbage gives seven to eight
servings Cabbage is most nutnti
ous served raw and coleslaw is
the univeisal favorite To make
it classy, mix law cabbage with
French diessing and chopped
onions, gicen peppers and cara
way seeds Or dioss it with grapes
and marshmallows, and bananas
using orange juice for a dressing
For a mam dish, try cabbage
bundles Cook cabbage leaves,
one inside the other, then wrap
around hot frankfurters brushed
with mustard Or roll partially
Spooked cabbage leaves around sea
soned hambuiger and braise.
