A mold made from a real cabbage leaf is coated with paper clay and
the clay is dried and peeled off. The result is a white cabbage leaf
that looks exactly like a leaf cast off from a real cabbage and is just as
pliable as a real one. Each leaf becomes a dish; putting the dishes
together makes a head of cabbage./p>

Once I happened to see drops of water on the leaves of a head of
cabbage and noticed that thereis a “dish” originally hidded in cabbages.
They say the cabbage leaf was “designed” by developing varieties that
could be conveniently grown and used in cooking. That made sense to me
when I discovered how easily the leaves could be layered over each other.
