Look for a tight, firm head of cabbage that feels heavy for its size.
Avoid any head with soft, loose, or wilting leaves around the outside, or any soft spots.
Avoid heads with yellowing leaves or blacks spots, which can be signs of age or rotting, respectively.
Smell is a good indicator of quality when it comes to a cabbage, but its actually the inverse of many other produce: you're looking for a cabbage that doesn't smell very cabbage-y.
Cabbage does best in a humid environment, so try wrapping in a moist cloth or paper towel before storing in a plastic bag.
