Use Cabbage Cores To Make Tasty Slaws And Pickles

Most cabbage recipes call for you to remove the core and toss it (or compost it), but this is folly. According to Epicurious, a cabbage core “is a crunchy, radish-like vegetable part worth eating all on its own,” and they have several tasty plans for it.

Not only can you eat it raw — just slice it up and serve it with some dip — but you can pickle it, puree it into a soup, or batter it and fry it tempura-style. Also, there’s no reason you can’t just slice it into match sticks and use it to add dimension to some slaw. You can never have too much crunch in a slaw.
