Cabbage Cleaning Tips: Avoid Worms, Learn the Right Way to Clean Cabbage
- •Cabbage, a popular winter vegetable, can harbor hidden worms and bacteria in its inner layers, posing health risks.
- •Improper cleaning can lead to stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, food poisoning, and even life-threatening situations, especially for vulnerable groups.
- •Just washing cabbage from the outside is insufficient as worms and bacteria remain hidden within the leaves.
- •To properly clean, remove outer leaves, cut the cabbage, and soak pieces in salt or vinegar water for 10-15 minutes.
- •After soaking, rinse thoroughly under running water, ensuring each leaf is cleaned, then drain excess water before cooking.
Why It Matters: Properly cleaning cabbage by soaking in salt/vinegar water is crucial to remove hidden worms and ensure food safety.
