	Cabbage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cabbage is often prepared by boiling, usually as part of soups or stews such as the Central and Eastern European borscht.
		Indeed, boiled cabbage seems to have fallen out of favor in North America, possibly due to the strong smell released during the cooking, to its image as a food of the poor, or to its reputation for promoting flatulence.
		Cabbage paste is wrapped around the area to be treated and this poultice soothes and removes toxins from the injured area for up to one hour per application.

		Once the cabbage has detached, it can be cooked and eaten, and today is considered a great delicacy, though it seems to have the taste and texture of a cheese and onion pasty.

		Firstly, navigating their way through the 300 islands that form the Kerguelen Archipelago would prove a challenge, especially given the harsh weather conditions the islands experience throughout the year - the wind blows continuously from the west averaging speeds of 68 mph, however wind speeds of over 90 mph are not uncommon.
		A notable exception is the famous Kerguelen Cabbage — which thrives in the less than clement conditions due to its ability to use the high winds to aid pollination.
		The teams may not be able to sample the delights of the Kerguelen Cabbage on their voyage this time, but no doubt they’ll find their own way to celebrate passing Kerguelen and the elusive Waypoint Bravo.

		About one third of the Kerguelen Island is covered with glaciers, and the combination of a glaciated, mountainous terrain combined with cold temperatures and a hellish wind makes this area rather formidable.
		The Kerguelen cabbage is particularly fascinating in how it has adapted to life on this particular island.
		So instead, the Kerguelen cabbage has evolved to be wind pollinated, and there is no shortage of wind to do the dirty deed for it.

		“Kerguelen Cabbage has done very well in our experiments, scoring high for taste, surviving well in outdoor conditions in Canberra and contains high levels of vitamin C, potassium and carotenoids (source of vitamin A),” Mr Dawson said.
