Fun Cabbage Tidbits

• Cabbage is one of the oldest vegetables, dating back to the 1600’s.
• Cabbage is available in many varieties: red or purple, green and Napa cabbage, usually found in Chinese cooking, bok choi and Brussels Sprouts.
• The largest cabbage dish ever made was on 19 December 2008 in the Macedonian city of Prilep, with 80,191 sarmas (cabbage rolls) weighing 544 kg (1,221 lbs).
• A thick-witted person may be called a cabbage-head. In Hebrew, the term “rosh kruv” (cabbage-head) implies stupidity.
• Drinking juiced cabbage is known to assist in benefiting conditions of the stomach and intestinal ulcers.
• If one is looking for ingredients of a low-calorie diet, cabbage is at the top of the list. One cup of cabbage only holds about 15 calories—definitely a weight-loss food.
• Cabbage contains significant quantities of fiber and iron, which help to keep the digestive tract and colon in a healthy condition.

4. Add salt, and pepper, to taste, over each wedge.
5. Arrange wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast in the preheated oven of 375 degrees for 15 minutes; flip cabbage, baste with butter mixture and continue roasting until browned and charred in some areas, about 15 minutes more.
7. Top with additional shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully flip and bake 10—15 minutes more. Drizzle any browned butter on the pan back over the cabbage.
