How to Freeze Cabbage
There are two ways you can freeze cabbage depending on how long you want it to last. If you want it to keep for over a year, stick to the blanching method. But if you only need to keep it around for 4 to 8 weeks, you can skip that step entirely.
Method 1: Blanching
Method 2: No Blanching
How to Use Frozen Cabbage
Frozen and thawed cabbage has a variety of uses. You can use it raw to make coleslaw or cabbage rolls. Or how about some sauteed cabbage with onions? Or perhaps a stew? With cabbage, you’ve got limitless options. If you need to use it raw, thaw the cabbage in the fridge for several hours before using it. But if you need it for soups or casseroles, no need to defrost! Just toss it into the pot and it will thaw naturally from the heat.
Tips & Tricks
Before you freeze cabbage, first make sure you’re picking the right ones. You want solid and dense cabbage heads with fresh-looking leaves. Ask the vendor when the cabbage was harvested to give you an idea of how fresh it is. If you’re growing them yourself, harvest them in the early morning. Click on a star to rate it!
