A Cabbage is a consumable item, which can be obtained either by growing it on a Farming patch, or by picking it in various areas around RuneScape. Upon eating it, it restores 1 hitpoint (the Draynor Manor variety heals 2). No cooking is required for consumption. It is also note worthy that there are two varieties, the only notable differences being that they have different examine texts, and that one yields either a +1 or +2 defence boost. The abnormal variety is located in Draynor Manor (and heals 2), and the normal one can be found in various other places (and heals 1).
The best known place to pick cabbage is the cabbage patch in the farm south of Falador. The Explorer's ring 3, a reward for completion of the entire Lumbridge and Draynor Diary, is capable of teleporting there.
If cabbages are brought to the Zanaris marketplace, they can be sold for 100 coins each (they must be unnoted).

[edit] Trivia
- During As a First Resort..., Balnea offers players the chance to partner in a lucrative new business venture. Players have the option to reply "I would rather fill my bank with cabbages" instead of accepting.
- When picking cabbages, you can occasionally pick up a cabbage seed.
- In the earlier years of RuneScape Classic, the game's chat filter would dub the word "cabbage" over anything offensive, furthering the use of the stereotype.
- On April Fools' Day, 2007, a joke news post was released hinting at new "Cabbage armour" and a "Cabbage spellbook". The news post was removed the following day.
- On 2009 April Fools, cabbages started jumping around and there were a variety of ways a player could interact with them you can kick and tap them. For example, players were able to pick them and then wield them as weapons and able throw to other players if the other player turned on accept aid. The cabbages returned to normal the following week. Some players hoarded large amounts of these cabbages during the event in hopes that once the event is over, they would become discontinued items and sell for a large profit in the future. However, it has been made clear that there will never be any more tradeable discontinued items due to the impact they have on the economy (e.g. the cost of partyhats).
- If you used a cabbage with another cabbage during the April Fools event you would get an interesting message (shown below). This is a spoof of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, when Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a Jedi mind trick to fool some Imperial stormtroopers. In the scene, Obi-Wan says "These are not the droids you are looking for."
- Currently Andrew Gower's clan chat is called cabbage.
- If a player types "andrew" in the notes it will say "Cabbage" instead.
- If you try noting a cabbage using a leprechaun, the leprechaun will refuse, stating the farm stinks of them.
- Juna, a Guardian of Guthix, claims that the cabbage is a "vegetable of Guthix", due to its green and leafy nature.
- Upon eating cabbage, it will say "You eat the cabbage. Yuck!" However, eating a cabbage from Draynor Manor simply results in "You eat the cabbage." This may be because cabbage from Draynor Manor is enchanted, as learned during Black Knights' Fortress.
- If your inventory is full and you try to pick a cabbage it will say "You don't have room for this cabbage."
