can raw cabbage be frozen?

Question

I have fresh cabbage from my garden but more than I can use all at once.  Can i freeze it raw or should it be blanched or cooked?

Answer 1

I tried to do that...it does not freeze well from the raw state..it is very soft then..........if you fill the leaves and roll a meat & rice mixture with whatever seasoning you prefer...cook them in either tomatoe sauce, tomatoe soup and fresh cook tomatoes off the vine...then the freeze well.  I have made some different soups and added shredded cabbage.....that is good frozen.

Answer 2

I saw several recipes on line for making authenic chinese egg rolls.......fry them....freeze them on a tray............seal in freezer bags............wrap one in kitchen paper towels....and nuke 1 or 2 minutes.  Takes about 1 head of cabbage with some carrots and other ingredients.........
