Cabbage is one of those down-home Carolina staples that shows up each Southern season. Red and green cabbages grow well in the Carolina states and are found in all famer’s markets from Spring to Winter. I have fond memories of cutting and collecting them from a dusty field during summer break. Cabbage is easy to grow and provides a lot of fiber-rich meals for little money. You’ll find them everywhere from rural backyard gardens to formal dining restaurants in the Carolinas.
