In short, yes, any type of cabbage needs to be washed.
How to wash cabbage correctly
Before putting broccoli, cabbage or cauliflower under running water, remove any dirty or damaged top leaves.
If the fruit has a head, separate it into individual inflorescences - these are the ones that need to be washed, holding them under running water.
If you want to achieve an even more thorough cleaning, use a vinegar solution of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water, in which you soak the cabbage for 10-20 minutes.
After such a “bath” with vinegar, the cabbage must be thoroughly washed in clean water.
This way you will certainly get rid of bugs and other insects if they were present in the cabbage.
