To store green cabbage and maintain its freshness, keep it in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. Wrap the cabbage tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a perforated plastic bag to prevent it from drying out. A whole head of cabbage can last for several weeks when stored properly. Once cut, use the remaining cabbage within a few days for optimal quality. Avoid washing the cabbage before storing, as excess moisture can promote spoilage.
