Red Cabbage looks great, but be forewarned that its colour can leech out and colour food it is cooked with. If you boil it, the water you boil it in will turn blue.

Apart from colour, however, it tastes just like regular green cabbage.

Cooking Tips
After your Red Cabbage is cooked, if it has lost its vibrant red colour and you want to restore that, drain the cabbage (if you boiled it), then toss in a tablespoonful or two to taste of lemon juice or vinegar. The acid will both enhance the taste and restore the colour.

Don't leave Red Cabbage sitting on or in any china or porcelain dishes for a few hours, as it may stain the crockery blue where it was.

Also called: Brassica oleracea var capitata rubra (Scientific Name) Chou rouge (French) Rotkohl (German) Berza roja, Repollo rojo (Spanish)
