Pointed (Hispi) cabbage is a variant of white cabbage and has a slightly sweetish flavour. Due to its delicate leaves, it is not as durable as white cabbage and should be eaten after a maximum of 3 days. It is best stored wrapped in a damp kitchen towel in the vegetable compartment of your fridge.
Why you should eat pointed cabbage more often: Healthy pointed cabbage also contains plenty of vitamin C and is being low in calories and fat – it’s also one of the most easily digestible types of cabbage. You can prepare it similarly to white cabbage, but keep in mind you won’t need to cook it as long. If you want to freeze pointed cabbage, cut it into smaller pieces and blanch in boiling water for approx. 2- 3 minutes. Stored in the freezer, it will keep for up to half a year.
