Cabbage is just cabbage and nothing to get too excited about, right? Like most everyone else I thought of it only as that occasional dish of coleslaw you always eat with fish dinners. That was my impression of the cruciferous vegetable before Stanton Farms started growing fields of cabbage near us as a cash crop a couple years ago.

For one thing, as I mentioned in a previous article, these fields of cabbage make for a pleasant change of scenery besides the usual soybean and corn fields that are prevalent in the area. Rows of green cabbage interspersed with rows of red are just a downright pretty sight.

Members of the cruciferous family of vegetables are some of the less sexy members of the veggie family. Besides cabbage, this family includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips and mustard greens to name a few.
