Store cabbage in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, ideally wrapped loosely in plastic or placed in a perforated bag to maintain moisture while allowing airflow. Avoid washing until ready to use to prevent spoilage. Whole heads can last up to 2 weeks when stored properly. For longer storage, consider freezing shredded cabbage after blanching it briefly.
