Selecting crisp Kentucky Proud cabbage.

Kentucky Proud cabbage is generally available in June and October.  Look for firm or hard heads of cabbage with outer leaves that fit loosely on the cabbage head.  The leaves should be crisp and a good green color, free from serious blemishes.  Yellow leaves indicate that the cabbage may be old.

Keeping Kentucky Proud cabbage fresh.

Uncut heads of cabbage can be stored for up to two weeks.  However, for the best flavor, it's best to eat cabbage within a couple of days, while the sugar content is high.  The heads should be loosely covered and washed.
