Remove Insects from Cabbage: A few days ago, an 18-year-old girl died from eating cabbage. There are frequent complaints of insects in cabbage. Let's tell you how to avoid this.

Just a few days ago, news broke that an 18-year-old girl died after eating cabbage. According to reports, the tapeworms in the cabbage caused tumors in her brain, leading to her death. The biggest concern when preparing cabbage or cauliflower is ensuring there are no hidden worms inside. The vegetable may appear clean from the outside, but upon cutting, tiny worms emerge, leading many people to stop eating it altogether. However, with a little caution and proper cooking methods, this problem can be easily avoided.

First, avoid cooking cabbage directly. Always cut it into small pieces to allow any worms to escape. Washing the entire cabbage at once often leaves the worms trapped inside.

After removing the chopped pieces, fill a large pot with warm water and add a good amount of salt. Soak the cabbage pieces in this water for 10 to 15 minutes. The salt and hot water will help drive out or kill the worms.

After this, rinse the cabbage thoroughly two or three times with clean water. This removes any remaining dirt and insects. This step should not be skipped, as it is the real cleaning step.

Another easy method is to use vinegar. Mix a little vinegar with water to create a solution and soak the cabbage in it for a while. Vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant, killing bacteria and small insects.

If you suspect a large number of insects, you can add a little turmeric to warm water with salt. The aroma of turmeric and the effect of hot water will expel the insects. After soaking for 15 to 20 minutes, wash the cabbage thoroughly.
