Leaving aside the business of how one would buy a single leaf of
cabbage, there are plenty of uses for one. I live in a 2-person
household and have in the past lived by myself. Buying small enough
portions to cook fresh at each meal is a challenge. I love stir fries
with several different vegetables-- onion, carrot, cabbage, mushrooms,
etc. Now imagine the quantities you'd need of each to make a single
portion. Living alone means wrapping a lot in plastic and freezing.
Those work, but they're still never as good as fresh.


No, I never bought a single leaf of cabbage, but it always crossed my
mind that it would be nice if I could.
