So purple, so tasty. CABBAGE 101 Not all cabbage is created equal: Here's a breakdown of the most popular varieties. RED This nutrient-rich plant will have either a purplish or bluish appearance, depending on the pH of the soil where it's grown. SAVOY This green variety is known for its distinctively crinkled leaves, which are tender and mildly flavored, making them ideal for salads and slaws. NAPA It's easy to spot a napa (or Chinese) cabbage: Look for its elongated shape and light green leaves, which are white at the base. It has a slightly peppery taste and is often stir-fried. BOK CHOY Another type of Chinese cabbage, bok choy has dark green leaves that fan out rather than form a head. APP More Veggies Cabbage stuffed with lentils and no-mayo slaw are just two of the tasty dishes that are part of the How to Cook Everything Vegetarian app (iTunes), which has more than 2,000 meatless recipes and is adapted from the award-winning cookbook by New York Times columnist Mark Bittman.
