Shredded Green Savoy Cabbage
What it is
This is a portion of green Savoy cabbage, a variety known for its crinkled, dark green leaves. The leaves are tender yet hold their shape well when cooked. Savoy cabbage has a milder flavor compared to other types of cabbage, making it versatile in various dishes. It is a leafy green vegetable that grows in a head.

For a more substantial dish, it can be sautéed with aromatics like garlic and onion until tender.
How it differs from similar foods
Savoy cabbage is distinct from common green cabbage due to its deeply crinkled leaves and a generally sweeter, less pungent taste. Its texture is also softer, which can be desirable in certain preparations where a very firm crunch is not needed.
