Napa Cabbage

Quantity/Pack: 1 head (about 5 lbs.)
Seasonality: Year Round
Origin: USA, Mexico

Napa has a mild, sweet flavor. It has an oblong head with tightly packed pale green to white, crinkled leaves. Napa has crispy, fibrous leaves, which is why it is often called “celery cabbage”.

Napa’s mild flavor is similar to a cross between cabbage, iceberg lettuce, and celery. It is a versatile cabbage, which can be eaten raw or cooked and is used in stir-fry and soups. It is also enjoyed pickled with salt and chiles to make kimchi.

Napa from Melissa’s is hand-selected for excellent quality. Keep away from ethylene-producing fruits such as apples and bananas, as they speed up the ripening process. Napa will keep a week or more. Rinse and crisp in cold water and drain well and shake dry for maximum freshness.
