Question

Is it necessary to check cabbage from the Haslat company for insects, or can one rely on the label “clean leaves” without checking? And if it must be checked, is there any special way of opening and washing that needs to be done?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

You should check the kashrut instructions printed on the package. 

Generally, cut cabbage from special insect‑free cultivation may be used without any washing. 

Whole cabbage from special cultivation, however, requires separating the leaves, soaking them in water with a little soap for 3 minutes, and rinsing both sides of each leaf.
