You really need to use the freshest cabbage you can for this. If frozen without blanching then use within 4-8 weeks.
The first step in freezing cabbage is washing heads. Fresh-from-the-garden cabbage frequently hosts cabbage caterpillars beneath outer leaves. Aphids, beetles, or earwigs may also be hiding inside leaves. Give hitchhikers cause to leave by soaking heads in a salt solution. Use 1 to 3 tablespoons of salt per gallon of water, and soak cabbage heads for half an hour. You can also soak heads in plain water for a few hours.
After soaking, rinse heads, and remove old or yellow outer leaves. Cut cabbage into quarters or wedges, or separate leaves. Choose how to cut heads based on your end use. For most cooked dishes, cabbage wedges are handy. Keep the core inside wedges; it helps hold leaves together during blanching.
Depends on where you want to use your cabbage for, but yes I do. I regularly make a Dutch red cabbage dish. When I buy a big red cabbage it’s cheaper, so then stew the whole cabbage and divide it in portions in the freezer
