Firm, pale, and wonderfully crunchy, our Fresh White Cabbage — known as Patta Gobhi in Hindi and Kosu in Kannada — is a kitchen workhorse that earns its place in Indian, European, and fusion cooking alike. With its mild, slightly sweet flavour and satisfying crunch, white cabbage is as delicious raw in a slaw as it is slow-cooked in a curry. Find it in our Everyday Vegetables collection or browse all fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
Shred finely for a classic Cabbage Sabzi with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and grated coconut — a South Indian staple ready in under 15 minutes. Use in Coleslaw with carrots and a tangy dressing, or add to Stir-fries and Noodle dishes for crunch. White cabbage is also excellent in Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, Soups, and Fermented as Sauerkraut for gut health benefits.
Store whole cabbage in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag. It keeps well for up to 2 weeks. Once cut, wrap the cut surface tightly in cling film and use within 3–5 days. Blanch and freeze shredded cabbage for up to 3 months.
