Green cabbage
A kind of cabbage · also called Head cabbage, White cabbage
About
Green cabbage is a leafy vegetable cultivar that grows into a compact head roughly seven inches across.
Green cabbage is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea, making it closely related to broccoli, cauliflower, and miniature relatives like Brussels sprouts. While grocery store heads typically weigh around 2.2 pounds (1 kg), farm-grown cabbages can range from 1 to 9 pounds (0.5 to 4 kg). Because the leaves are tightly layered, it is significantly heavier and denser than a similarly sized head of iceberg lettuce. Giant exhibition cabbages grown for competitions can even exceed 100 pounds (45 kg).
From Wikipedia

It is descended from the wild cabbage, and belongs to the "cole crops" or brassicas, meaning it is closely related to broccoli and cauliflower ; Brussels sprouts ; and Savoy cabbage.
