Where and how to store white cabbage?
White cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator, in the freezer or even in the cellar for several weeks to several months. Here's how to prepare your white cabbage for storage and how to stay fresh the longest.
Earlier harvest cabbage: When is harvest time?Harvest cabbage correctly
It is already decided at harvest time how long your cabbage will last. Mostly, the sooner you harvest your white cabbage, the less storable it is. The longest preserved are late varieties, which are only harvested in late autumn.
It is also important that the leaves are not damaged during harvesting, because interfaces spoil the first. To keep your cabbage fresh for a long time, you should do the following when harvesting:
Store white cabbage in the fridge
Whole cabbage in the fridge lasts up to two weeks. Keep in mind that the maximum storage time for white cabbage from the supermarket can be shortened because the cabbage is often not fresh. Sliced cabbage should be covered with a foil and is thus stable for about a week.
Hanging cabbage in the cellar
If you have enough space in the basement, you can store your cabbage here for several months as follows: Attach a string to the white cabbage and then hang it upside down on the ceiling.
Alternatively, you can put your cabbage loose in boxes. In this case, you should check it regularly for putrid areas.
Freeze cabbage
White cabbage can be frozen both raw and blanched. White cabbage can easily spend several months in the freezer.
Cabbage on the balcony or terrace
When it is cool outside, there is also an outdoor location for temporary storage. Put your white cabbage in a tightly closed container to avoid sacrificing animals. Make sure that it does not freeze. Should your white cabbage still get frosty, you can still eat it, but it should not go through several temperature changes several times.
