Savoy cabbage is the ruffled, deep-green, loose-headed cabbage with a milder, sweeter, more tender leaf than its smooth-headed cousins.
One report comparing cabbage types found Savoy had the highest values of carotenoids (yellow-orange plant pigments such as β-carotene and lutein), ahead of white and red cabbage.
Its vitamin C content sits between white and red cabbage in published comparisons, and exact levels vary widely between cultivars.
The crinkled leaves are more tender than smooth white cabbage, so Savoy cooks quickly and works well for wraps, stuffing and gentle braising.

Keep the head whole and unwashed in the crisper drawer.
Shred and blanch first for best texture.
Vitamin C in green cabbage lines has been measured at more than twice as high in the best cultivars as in the lowest, so two cabbages that look identical can differ a lot.
