"text": "National Cabbage Day celebrates all things cabbage! National Cabbage Day was likely preceded by World Cabbage Day, which was being observed at least by 1999, and perhaps by 1997. National Cabbage Day has been observed at least since 2016. One may have superseded the other. Since 2019, the Washington Nationals have had relay races with cabbages that end with smashing the cabbages. They started the tradition on National Cabbage Day that year and have continued it after big wins.\nFrom the French word caboche, a colloquial word for head, cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable with waxy and tightly wrapped leaves that form a compact, dense head. Ranging from red to green to almost white, some of the main types of cabbage are green cabbage, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, napa cabbage, and bok choy. Red cabbage is sometimes called purple cabbage and is similar in taste and shape to green cabbage. Napa cabbage is light green and oblong, and it and bok choy are types of Chinese cabbage. Chinese cabbage and savoy cabbage are generally considered superior to green cabbage and red cabbage, but are less widely available than them in the United States. Cabbage is often considered to be a superfood. It is low in calories and packed with fiber, folate, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. It is good for gut, bone, and heart health, and reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system.\nAlthough not generally considered a main course, cabbage is versatile and used in many dishes, being a more widespread food than many realize, and it can be a main dish, side dish, or be used to complement recipes. Cabbage may be eaten raw, in coleslaw and other cabbage salads, such as those with apples, onions, Asian pears, or nuts. It can be steamed, sautéed, fried, baked, roasted, stewed, boiled, fermented, and pickled. It can be used in soups, stews, salads, tacos, stir-fries, and veggie bowls. It is most common in Asian, German, Irish, and Latin cuisines.\nNational Cabbage Day takes place exactly one month before St. Patrick's Day, when cabbage is featured prominently on menus in the form of corned beef and cabbage or in colcannon, a traditional Irish dish. (That day is also celebrated as Corned Beef and Cabbage Day.) Cabbage is used to make sauerkraut, which is often used top frankfurters or sandwiches such as Reubens. Kimchi is another fermented food made with cabbage. Cabbage is used to make cabbage rolls and egg rolls, and is used in soups such as cabbage soup and borscht. In short, there is no shortage of ways that cabbage can be eaten on National Cabbage Day!",
