I think each of these leaves have their strengths, but I gotta go with cabbage. I just love how sturdy it is...there's a cabbage-based salad in my fridge right now that I bought a week ago, and it STILL hasn't shown any signs of wilting. Even the other vegetables that are in there with it (including some romaine, which usually goes bad within days on its own) still look and taste fresh.

Besides, fried cabbage is just * chef's kiss * ♪(´▽｀), especially the way it smells. I think any Asian dish can be made even better with a little fried cabbage. Seriously, I'll add it to anything. I made curry yesterday and threw in some big strips of cabbage...it was a little awkward to eat, but worth it.

If there are other leaves you like, feel free to mention them. I had some good radicchio once at a salad bar...

the only greens whose taste i can bear is spinach and romaine lettuce (iceberg gets hyped up way to much). My family put me onto collard greens but it's not something we fix often save for like thanksgiving or christmas. i don't think i've ever had cabbage but i don't think it mind trying it fried like you mentioned

spinach >

~I needs twenty characters~

[Oto_Kouda]

I've gotta roll with spinach.

Cabbages? Pff!

They cause torment and destruction!

Kale?

She couldn't even win the Tournament of Power in her strongest form!

And lettuce?

They're so weak that they're hunted for SPORT!

Do you know what is truly strong?

Spinach! Let me prove my point:

Look at this man—no, this SAILOR—cowering in fear at this man obviously in another height and weight class than him!

He's scared, hopeless, and doesn't know what to do.

Does he grab cabbages? Maybe call Kale or throw some flying lettuce at him?

No!

This absolute Chad of a man eats spinach and knocks down any enemy in his way! No one can dare compete against this man and his daily recommended 200mg of potassium and 4g of protein!

What are you waiting for?

Go eat some spinach and trample over those other leaves!

I'm more of a spring mix + baby lettuce person since I love salads. American spinach is gross and cabbage is just hard lettuce. tastes better if you make it into kimchi.

[drawnbyyannan]

There is 100% a correct answer here and it's cabbage, the most versatile leafy green that keeps long in the fridge. You can pickle it for crunch, sautee and caramelize it for sweetness, shred it for salad!

[IndigoShirtProd]

Cabbage is disgusting... and you cannot convince me otherwise. Lettuce comes in all shapes and sizes and is a wonderful, refreshing addition to any sandwich or salad. Spinach is hands down the most versatile and can be incorporated into every meal. Kale, while still a little gross, does well to flesh out a good salad and is chock full of vitamins, same with spinach. And again I say, cabbage kinda gross. Like, I can only really eat it in coleslaw, and even then.

All those leafs are just crunchy water to me, but I went with spinach, because

I like them put into salad, sandwich or whatever tho.

(Except cabbage. Most cabbage dishes are big nope to me.)

Team cabbage, and I'm fairly passionate about this.

• it's an excellent poor people food as it's full of vitamins, cheap, and keeps approximately forever
• it's versatile as fuck
• raw cabbage has that sort of radish-like bite to it (plus the cronch)
• excellent vehicle for sauce

[rajillustration]

No one voted Kale and they are correct.

Team Cabbage all the way.

what's happening here

[sushy00]

I am missing the endive option.

[Zin_Trollborn]

Spinach team.

You can eat it raw like a salad,
you can cook it and put it in :
- lasagna
- shepherd's pie
- quiche
- many other recipes I don't think about right now

It goes well with fish, minced meat, poultry meat, cream, cheese...

WELL. SPINACH.

THIS IS A LETTUCE HATE POST

i think the real question is how important the versatility of the leaf is cause you can't do shit with lettuce. cabbage can be made into kimchi, soup, and stir fried. kale can be made also into soup, and chips. and spinach can be stir fried or boiled with sesame oil and seeds for a side dish.

I actually like lettuce in sandwiches and salads but I've done more for lettuce than lettuce has ever done for me. I think if lettuce was an ice cream, it would be vanilla.

[crowstories]

Can't believe fuckin' spinch is winning. salty

[littlelilylee5683]

So, I used to HATE spinach, but I love it now. I also love cabbage in multiple ways - kimchi and creamy slaw come to mind - but now I can't eat salt or dairy or anything you would put slaw on. And bland cabbage is... meh. I guess it's good in a spring roll. Also, cabbages are too big. I can't eat that much cabbage. Such a waste. Make mini cabbages available (no, a brussel sprout is not a mini cabbage) and maybe I'll reconsider. But I'm still feeling bitter.

Not voting for kale, but side vote for rainbow swiss chard...

[IndigoShirtProd]

I think if lettuce was an ice cream, it would be vanilla.

I don't know if you're insulting vanilla or lettuce, or both...

Can't believe fuckin' spinch is winning. salty

I have few regrets

[ar-ninetysix]

Where's the option for normal leaves from a tree??

[sorible]

both. vanilla is wack

[IndigoShirtProd]

I... I... don't agree. Boring sure, but reliable. It's a flavor you can count on.
