Cabbage is a fresh leafy vegetable that can be eaten raw, cooked or added to many dishes. It is one of the most filling vegetables in the game. A head lowers hunger by 24 and weighs only 0.2.
Cabbage spoils fast, within a few days, so it needs to be used soon. It comes from produce crates, grocery stands and restaurant fridges. A farm can grow it from Cabbage Seeds. It also works as bait for rabbit and raccoon traps. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Eating
A head of raw Cabbage lowers hunger by 24 and thirst by 10. It holds 180 calories, with 41 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of protein. That is a lot of food for a vegetable this light.
The thirst bonus is a real help when clean water is short. Cabbage is safe to eat raw. Compared with other vegetables, it is among the best. Carrots lower hunger by 8 and Broccoli by 9. A Potato lowers hunger by 18, still less than a cabbage.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cabbage can also be preserved. The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe puts 2 heads into a jar with vinegar, salt and water. The jar keeps far longer than the fresh vegetable.

Farming
Cabbage grows from Cabbage Seeds. A plant takes about 12 days to grow and gives 2 to 4 heads at harvest. The sowing season runs from February to July, and March and May are the best months to plant. Cabbage planted from October to January does poorly.
As trap bait, cabbage gives a 40 percent chance to attract both a rabbit and a raccoon. Carrots are slightly better at 45 percent.
