Celebrated in the United States on February 17, one month ahead of St. Patrick’s Day and its corned beef and cabbage tradition, this food holiday recognizes a humble vegetable central to many European and Indian cuisines.

Closely related to brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, kohlrabi, and kale, the versatile cabbage can be pickled, shredded, sautéed, stewed, and more.
