White cabbage ⚖
510087
White cabbage is an essential staple vegetable for professional kitchens, selected by Le Delas for the compactness of its heads and the quality of its texture. Characterised by smooth, tightly packed leaves with a glossy creamy-white colour, it offers a crisp texture and a mild flavour that becomes more refined when cooked. Its excellent yield and versatility make it an economical and indispensable ingredient for structuring seasonal menus.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Cold dishes and bistronomy: Finely shredded using a mandoline or vegetable slicer, it forms the ideal base for raw vegetable salads, particularly traditional coleslaw, where its ability to absorb dressings without losing its crunch is particularly appreciated.
► Slow cooking and processing: It is perfectly suited to braising, stews and rustic soups. It is also the sole ingredient for making homemade sauerkraut through lactic fermentation.
► Preparation: Remove the outer protective leaves if necessary. To make cutting easier, quarter the cabbage and remove the tougher central core. A quick blanching makes it easier to digest whilst retaining its vibrant colour.
► Storage: An excellent long-life product. It should be stored in a positive-temperature cold room, ideally in a dark environment. Once opened, cover the cut surface with cling film to prevent oxidation and drying out.
