What to cook from young cabbage

At the end of April, our body is increasingly demanding something fresh and crispy. Therefore, a favorite vitamin “recharging” comes to mind – a young cabbage salad.





In the spring, the consumer has a choice: buy “old” cabbage, but cheaper or “young”, but more expensive.



I choose a young one: there are more vitamins in it, and delicate leaves without coarse veins are ideal for light and tasty spring salads.

Preparation of salads from young cabbage has its own characteristics. Famous chef Ilya Latherson believes that such cabbage should not be rubbed with sugar and salt.



For hard autumn cabbage, this makes sense: the leaves get a little softer. Spring cabbage with its delicate leaves under excessive pressure becomes sluggish, the salad turns watery and not as lush as it could be.
