Savoy cabbage is one of those quiet vegetables that doesn’t shout for attention, but rewards you when you notice it.
Raw, Savoy is surprisingly gentle. Its crinkled leaves are tender rather than tough, with a fresh, lightly sweet, green flavor and just a hint of peppery bite. Unlike regular cabbage, it lacks that sharp sulfur edge, making it feel lighter and easier on the palate.
Sautéed, it transforms completely. The leaves soften quickly, becoming silky and almost buttery, while the flavor deepens into something sweet, nutty and savory. It’s comforting without being heavy, warming, but never overwhelming.
That’s the beauty of Savoy cabbage, How do you enjoy this leafy lightness?
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
