Stay away from savoy cabbage and loose leaf greens, they taste bitter. Also if the cabbage is yellowing or wilting it is pretty rank, get as fresh as possible 'normal' cabbage and it's taste is sort of similar to fresh peas. I found it hard to find cabbages with these leaves still on them, I have started growing my own as loose headed plants and just pick off leaves as required. There is also the option of keeping one plant in the greenhouse and just picking leaves off it, know of someone who kept it going for 2 years like this. (Northern England). Hi,

If you get a juicer start with some tastier juices like Apple Ginger or some other fruit juices. Once your ready to move on to veggie juices a good combo would be half a head of a medium cabbage and 4-5 good size carrots. You could add half a handful of parsley to get a little extra flavor in there too. I'm at a point now where I like just raw cabbage juice, but it took a little while to get there ;) . The Juicemans Power of Juicing is the best book on juicing and it has some great recipes in it. I think I picked it up for like $6 new. I'll also add that its important to buy organic veggies, especially when you are juicing because everything gets concentrated including any pesticides / herbicides (half a head of cabbage and 4 carrots makes about a cup and a half of juice) Cool… the taste of cabbage juice is something you’ll have to get used to.

Cabbage juice and licorice mmm... Cabbage juice by itself is surprisingly pallitable. For a while I had to mix it with other stuff to get it down, but I just had a glass of it last night.. straight no chaser. Yea, that would make a heck of a drink. Cabbage juice and licorice mmm…

Makes me wonder if anyone has any experience with licorice and its effects on IBD. Or, if you can imagine, a little licorice with your cabbage juice.
