Green or purple leafy vegetables with tightly packed leaves that form a round head, commonly used in cooking.
From Old French 'caboche' meaning head, from Latin 'caput'; the word refers to the head-like shape of the vegetable itself.
Cabbages saved countless lives historically—they store for months without refrigeration, and sailors ate them to prevent scurvy on long voyages, literally making them heroes of exploration.
