In Greek, there is a word “kaputum”, which translates as “head”. From this word, the word “cabbage” was formed, because the vegetable really resembles ahead.
Although cabbage is considered Russia’s national food, they do not have the highest levels of cabbage per capita consumption. In 2018 it was Romania with 57 kg per person, South Korea (46 kg per person) and Ukraine (39 kg per person).
