If cabbage is rotten inside are outside leaves okay?

If the cabbage is only slightly rotten inside, the outer leaves may still be okay to use. However, if the cabbage is extensively rotten, it is best to discard the entire head.

To check if the cabbage is still good, first remove the outer leaves. Then, cut the cabbage in half and inspect the interior. If the cabbage is brown, mushy, or smells bad, it is rotten and should be discarded. If the cabbage is white and firm, it is still good to use.

Here are some tips for selecting and storing cabbage:

* Choose cabbage heads that are firm and heavy for their size.

* Avoid cabbage heads that have brown or yellow spots.

* Store cabbage in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.

* Cabbage will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
