Green cabbage is a favorite vegetable of many people because it has a crispy, refreshing, and nutritious taste. Green cabbage can be grilled, steamed, boiled, stewed, cooked in soup… each dish has its own delicious and appealing aroma. However, green cabbage is difficult to wash because it has many cracks and crevices. These areas often have a lot of dirt and clinging parasites. If you just rinse it with water, it will be very difficult to clean, especially to remove residual pesticides.

Therefore, chefs have revealed a very simple way to wash green cabbage that is effective in cleaning it completely. The method is as follows:

First, use your hands to break each leaf of the green cabbage and put them in a small basin, set aside. Many people have a habit of cutting cabbage with a knife, but this will make it easily break into small pieces, and the cooking will not be delicious. Therefore, chefs advise to use your hands to break each leaf, which is more suitable.

Then, add water to a small pot with a little salt, stir to dissolve. Place the cabbage in the water and soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then rinse with water.

The weak salty water has a certain antibacterial effect. Soaking green cabbage in salted water also helps reduce residual pesticides.

Next, add some flour to the green cabbage, then add a suitable amount of water, stir gently, lightly scrub the cabbage carefully and then rinse with water. This step is mainly to clean the dirt in the cracks and crevices of the green cabbage.
