On the way, I saw several ladies planting colorful cauliflower in front of the public office. It might be for the decoration of street. Regardless of whether in the East or the West, the family of cabbage is very diverse and used for food applications, so it is a very grateful crop for human.
Brassica oleracea is a plant species that includes many common cultivars, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan. Researchers believe it has been cultivated for several thousand years, but its history as a domesticated plant is not clear before Greek and Roman times, when it was a well-established garden vegetable. Theophrastus mentions three kinds of rhaphanos(ῤάφανος) a curly-leaved, a smooth-leaved, and a wild-type. He reports the antipathy of the cabbage and the grape vine, for the ancients believed cabbages grown near grapes would impart their flavour to the wine. A diet rich in cruciferous vegetables (e.g., cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) is linked to a reduced risk of several human cancers. In its uncultivated form, it is called wild cabbage Brassica oleracea
Beef Cabbage Miso Soup
Because it endures and grows well during the cold weather, it has been used for material of food medicine to protect the invasion of diseases caused by coldness. Soup with Oriental cabbage is one of my favorites. Koreans say a word while drinking oriental cabbage soup.
The soup is very cool!
Foreigners don't understand the expression that it's cool to drink hot soup. But it's really cool. It's an ironic expression which means that one sip of the hot is spreading warm energy throughout the body.
Korean Water Kimchi
I imagine that the color would be really pretty if water kimchi were made with this. Korea without oriental cabbage is unimaginable.
