White cabbage — a cultivar of wild cabbage, a plant of the Brassicaceae family. It originated in the Mediterranean and Adriatic regions as a wild plant with loose leaves. Over time, it was domesticated and bred into numerous forms such as broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts. The term "cabbage" generally refers to members of the Brassicaceae family whose leaves are consumed rather than flower heads.
There is extensive cross-reactivity among different types of cabbage, as well as other members of the Brassicaceae family such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Studies confirm cross-reaction with mustard, rapeseed, and turnip. Cabbage can cause food allergy symptoms in sensitized individuals: vegetable proteins trigger immediate-type allergy, pollen causes hay fever, and skin contact leads to contact dermatitis.
