cabbage
A field of cabbages on a farm. These cabbages are being grown organically, without recourse to synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or other agrochemicals. Consumers are increasingly demanding organically-grown produce, despite the fact it is often relatively expensive.
Vegetable plant related to the turnip and wild mustard, or charlock. It was cultivated as early as 2000 BC, and the many commercial varieties include kale, Brussels sprouts, common cabbage, savoy, cauliflower, sprouting broccoli, and kohlrabi. (Brassica oleracea, family Cruciferae.)
