"Head cabbage" is a general term for common cabbage varieties that form a dense, round "head" of tightly packed leaves. It has a slightly bitter, sometimes sweet flavor. Think of it as the classic, no-nonsense cabbage you find in most grocery stores ๐ฅฌ. It's used in coleslaw, sauerkraut, and various cooked dishes. Its firm texture makes it suitable for long cooking times.
