ST. PATRICK'S DAY GREEN CABBAGE SALE
A member of the Brassica family, cabbage is related to kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. The most common cabbages are green and red cabbage. Cabbage contains vitamin C, fiber and cancer fighting compounds.
Green Cabbage
The heart of any good coleslaw is shredded green cabbage, which, in the supermarket, looks similar to a head of iceberg lettuce - green, round and typically a little smaller than a volleyball. Green is the most common type of cabbage and is popular for its crunchiness and mild flavor. When looking for a head of green cabbage, look for one that is heavy for its size and has no discoloration.
Cabbage Measurements
1/4 pound cooked cabbage equals one serving
One medium head (about two pounds) cabbage equals four to six servings or six to eight cups shredded

What is Corned Beef?
Corned beef is beef brisket that has been salt-cured to give it a special, tangy taste. It’s called corned beef because the Irish practice was to cure it with corn-sized grains of salt. Today, producers inject the brisket with a seasoned saline solution.
To braise corned beef, trim off any excess fat, place the corned beef in a heavy pot, and add cold water. Simmer until the meat is firm but tender, 2 to 3 hours.
