I have a huge ( about 2 1/2 foot cabbage including outer bottom leaves in my garden. I have been breaking off the lower leaves,( about one and 1/2 foot each ) and throwing them away to let my lettuce get more sun. It’s organic. Can I shred it and use it? And if so, ??? How would I cook it???
Thanks a million for your answers

You could eat them but they would not have the good crunchy texture of the inner leaves… If you really want to use them try cabbage soup… i don’t see anything wrong with it, and they have lots of recipes for it online. congrats on the huge plant!
