RED CABBAGE (SAMPLE)

Selection

• Red cabbage should be firm and heavy for its size.
• Leaves are tightly packed without any bruises.
• Red cabbage heads squeak when rubbed together, which means that they are crisp and fresh.
• The presence of a waxy bloom on the leaves is desirable.

Storage

• Red cabbage should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-eight percent to a hundred percent with mist. 
• The typical shelf life is three to six months. High humidity is important to avoid wilting.
• Red cabbage is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Red cabbage should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid quality loss such as leaf yellowing, wilting, and abscission. Red cabbage produces a low level of ethylene.
• Red cabbage is not sensitive to chilling injury. The freezing point for red cabbage is 30.4°F - 30.5 °F (-0.9°C - -0.83°C). Storage at 30.2°F (-1°C) is not advisable because it can produce freeze damage, especially on outer leaves.
