About Shredded red cabbage
This is cut cabbage work a kitchen would otherwise do on a mandoline: shredded green cabbage for slaw, shredded red for color, and brussels sprouts either shaved or trimmed and halved. What is being bought is labor and yield — a case of shredded cabbage is trimmed weight, with no core and no outer leaves to throw away — so the honest comparison against a whole head is usable pounds, not purchase pounds. The price follows the raw vegetable underneath plus the cost of cutting it, and cut product always carries a shorter life than the head it came from.
Buying notes
Shredded cabbage comes in single tubs while brussels come in multi-tub cases, so read the pack before comparing: a multi-tub case lets you open one and keep the rest sealed. Cut cabbage is ordered against a service rather than stocked, because the clock starts when the seal breaks.
