When we buy cabbage, we can find that there are actually flat and round cabbages. Don't think that they were squashed during transportation, because these two kinds of cabbages are originally different varieties. Flat cabbage is an old variety in our country, with a slightly low gloss. In the past, the leaves were loose and not so tight. When you press it with your hand, you can feel that there are actually many gaps between the leaves. The origin of Chinese cabbage is Europe, which looks a little round, and we can feel that the gap between leaves is relatively small, the package is relatively tight, and the gloss of the appearance color is relatively strong.

2. Different tastes

In addition to the difference in shape and compactness, there is another difference, that is, taste. Flat cabbage has low water content and thin leaves, which is more suitable for our usual cooking and easy to taste. As we usually cook, we basically use plain cabbage; Cabbage has a higher water content and slightly thicker leaves, which is more suitable for cold salad or pickling to make kimchi, and the taste will be better. This is a common way to eat cold purple cabbage in our life. Purple cabbage belongs to cabbage and tastes sweet and crisp.
