Solution(By Examveda Team)

Flavour in cabbage leaves is due to the glycoside Sinigrin.
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) is a small, leafy biennial producing a compact globular mass of smooth or crinkled leaves wrapped over each other known as head. The outer leaves are generally larger than the inner.
Flavour in cabbage leaves is due to the glycoside sinigrin. Cabbage contains goitrogens which cause enlargement of thyroid glands.
