The humble cabbage has been predicted to be a big food trend for 2026. I've seen it in several articles, including this one from The Kitchn.
This goes to show that even seemingly basic ingredients truly can bring the main character energy. I'm absolutely taking this as a sign to do some more experimenting with cabbage in the kitchen in the coming months.
You can find several varieties of cabbage at your local grocery store: savoy cabbage, red cabbage, green cabbage, and Napa cabbage to name just a few.
I've asked some of my food blogging communities to share their best cabbage recipes so I could create a resource for everyone who's looking to add some more of this cruciferous vegetable into their cooking repertoire.
So without further ado, here are 30 cabbage recipes to try out this year!
