The roots of this vegetable are deep in tradition

Cabbage is one of the oldest cultivated plants, known and appreciated by the Greeks and Romans, who praised its nutritional and medicinal properties. Cato the Elder dedicated entire passages to it in his writings, considering it a nearly universal remedy. Over the centuries, cabbage has become a mainstay of European peasant cuisine, especially in regions with harsher climates, where it could be preserved for a long time during the winter. Its fermentation also gives rise to one of the most popular traditional dishes in Northern Europe, sauerkraut, a symbol of peasant wisdom in preservation. In Italy, it has found its way into soups, minestrone, and rustic side dishes on country tables. A humble vegetable that has nourished generations throughout the centuries.
