Savoy Cabbage

The Savoy cabbage is named after the region it is believed to have originated from, the Savoy region in France. It is very versatile in its composition, with features resembling both those of the common green cabbage and Chinese cabbage. It can be eaten raw, pickled, fermented, or cooked but it is best cooked.
