Talk:Cabbage

Per Capita Consumption
Are these stats outdated? I'm seeing different ones in other locations and the source is from 2006, I think.

Wrong title or content of the article?
The article is discussing cabbage as a whole and lists different forms (green, red, white). Green and red have their own article, white doesn't.

But if you click on the German link you get to the page about white cabbage. I suspected an error in the linking to the german article and wanted to change that, only to find that the technical title of the page is indeed 'white cabbage'. Then why is the page discussing cabbage as a whole? And why is there no dedicated white cabbage article like in other languages?`

Can someone with the technical knowledge please remidy this situation? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.191.154.7 (talk) 23:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Head
I know what a head of cabbage looks like - but the word "head" is used in various forms throughout the article without ever being described or defined, including "non-headed varieties" (what are those?) "loosely formed heads" (I have a guess, but...?). This may be an artifact of parts of this article being borrowed from somewhere else, or something that was lost in translation from another wiki. In any case, the article should stand on its own, which means "head" needs to be well-defined. Jd2718 (talk) 15:16, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Energy content
Our article says that 100 g of cabbage gives 25 kcal, and contains 3.2 g sugars, 2.5 g "dietary fiber", 0.1 g fat, and 1.28 g protein. But how does that give 25 kcal? Using the standard 4 Cal/g for carbohydrates and proteein and 9 for fat, we get only 19 Cal. The "fiber" doesn't count. If we include the "fiber" as carbohydrate, we get 29 Calories.

 * We don't calculate the values in the nutrition table but rather list them from the USDA database, here, where the energy level of 25 kcal is given. Zefr (talk) 15:09, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
