Cabbage

Cabbage Market, by Vaclav Maly

Cabbage is a round leafy vegetable whose inner leaves are usually lighter than its outer ones. Although both lettuce and cabbage are used in salads, only cabbage is usually cooked.

Many different varieties of the cabbage plant are used for culinary purposes; these include red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi and Brussels sprouts.

Cabbages with brightly colored and patterned leaves are sometimes used as ornamental garden plants. [1]

According to some creationists cabbages were likely created by God on the third day of creation about 4000 BC.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. (Genesis 1:11-13)
