Description

Napa or Chinese Cabbage has an oblong head with tightly packed, crinkly, white-veined inner leaves that are cream-colored with pale green tips. Though commonly referred to as Chinese cabbage, it is also known by many other names: Napa, Wong Nga Bok, Siu Choy (Chinese) and Haku Sai (Japanese). In order to tell freshness, Napa cabbages will be loose-leafed, and fairly heavy in relation to size. Look for pale green leaves for best flavor.

How to Store

Storage

– Store immediately in the coldest part, of the walk-in cooler. Cabbage will wilt from heat exposure (above 40 degrees).

– Store in the original carton away from drafts from the cooler fan. Cabbage will suffer dehydration damage from direct exposure to the cooler fans.

– Store away from ethylene-producing fruits. Ethylene can cause cabbage to brown and shorten the shelf life.

Handling

– Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.

– Do not soak. Excessive moisture will cause the cabbage to bleed into other products and not to be crisp

– Avoid placing the case or raw product on non-sanitized kitchen counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.

Preparation

– Prepare as needed. Try not to use a product from the previous day. Store product in the whole head form, pre-cut heads will brown prematurely.

– Store prepared product in the refrigerator.
