GREEN CABBAGE (BOX)

14 to 16 count 35 to 40 lbs per box Seasonally sourced from Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Canada Green Cabbage aka "Boxed Green Cabbage", "Cannonball Cabbage", "Juan-Xin-Cai", "Yang-Bao-Cai", "Xiang-Zhuang-Bao-Cai", "卷心菜", "洋包菜", "箱庄包菜" Green cabbage has wide fan-like leaves in green with a slightly rubbery texture when raw. The leaves fade to light yellow and white in the center. Raw leaves are somewhat peppery in flavor, but the cabbage gets sweeter as it cooks. Common application includes salad and stir-fry. Green cabbage is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Green cabbage should be firm and heavy for its size. Leaves are tightly packed without any bruises. Green cabbage heads squeak when rubbed together, which means that they are crisp and fresh. The presence of a waxy bloom on the leaves is desirable. Storage Green cabbage should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-eight percent to a hundred percent with mist.  The typical shelf life is three to six months. High humidity is important to avoid wilting. Green cabbage is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Green cabbage should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid quality loss such as leaf yellowing, wilting, and abscission. Green cabbage produces a low level of ethylene. Green cabbage is not sensitive to chilling injury. The freezing point for green cabbage is 30.4°F - 30.5 °F (-0.9°C - -0.83°C). Storage at 30.2°F (-1°C) is not advisable because it can produce freeze damage, especially on outer leaves.
