"It's 2026, and vegetables are in (as they should be). But Pinterest says there's one particular vegetable to watch out for this year - and incorporate into your cooking repertoire: cabbage. In its trend report, Pinterest Predicts 2026, the social media platform highlighted cabbage as the top vegetable, citing a new motto, "live, laugh, leaf." In its explanation of the trend, Pinterest, dedicated to all things aesthetic, practical, and delicious, wrote about the calciferous vegetable's signature crunch."
"Its heartiness and flexibility when cooked or raw make it a prime vegetable wrapper for dumplings, tacos, or stuffed cabbage with sweet tomato sauce. Its neutral, earthy taste makes it notably useful in a range of recipes; the perfect complement to other ingredients when used in salads, slaws, or in various cooking methods from sauteing or fermenting to pickling. And unlike other trendy vegetables like oyster mushrooms or heirloom tomatoes, which are delicious but pricey, cabbage is an economical choice for any home cook."
