The fruit
Savoy cabbage (oleracea Brassica, var. sabauda) is commonly known as cabbage of wrinkled leaves. Cabbages are the most popular group of the brassicas.

The leaves of this vegetable have a pale to dark green colour and are covered with a waxen substance. The leaf is characterized by an irregular surface. There exists no important industrial process for Savoy cabbages; therefore its production is intended for consumption in fresh.

It is usually cooked, resulting in a very good ingredient for several dishes. It is an ideal product for winter cooking, stews, soups, thick vegetable soup, sautéed potatoes, pork, stuffing, etc. It makes a very good combination with truffle, pith and pâté.

Savoy cabbage is a similar variety to white cabbage and it is also known wrinkled cabbage. This cabbage is characterized by its wrinkled and somewhat bulky leaves, more or less curled, of a green, somewhat bluish colour.

They are regarded as very nutritious vegetables, thanks to the amount of vitamins and minerals contained in them. They have a very low content in calories (24.86-28 kcal per 100 g of fresh produce) reason why they are included in hypocaloric diets.

The raw leaves and stems are used in salads. They admit multiple ways of cooking; fried, roasted, grilled or boiled, these vegetables are added to soups and stews. Cabbages are also stuffed with bacon, meat, entrails, species or herbs, rice or dry fruit.

They can be stored outside the fridge and they are kept at environmental temperature in good conditions for several days.

The main product made from these cabbages is choucroute. This product is obtained from fermentation in brine and it is native to Asia. With this processing, cabbages maintain most of their vitamins and minerals and they become very digestive.
