I just cut in to a cabbage that I bought this morning. In some of the layers, rather than being that creamy white color of inner cabbage, it is "sort of greyish." The "grey" quality is hard to describe. It's a very light grey. At first I thought it was transluscent, but upon closer look I realized it's opaque. It's not mold either. There's just sort of an off color in some parts. There is no odor other than normal cabbage. Is anyone familiar with this phenomenom? What is it?

It sounds like the outer leaves are drying out discard them then remove one more layer. This part of the cabbage is fine and can be eaten. Rinse cabbage before using.

The cabbage has turn bad,so cut those layers that is infected and throw away and leave those layers that is not infected and rinse it with cold water. If you want to prevent this sort of things happen, wrap your cabbage in a layer of newspaper and put it into a plastic bag before you bring home. The best way to settle the cabbage is the you peel of the cabbage layer by layer, rather than to cut it.

It may be an indication of worm damage or mold---return at supermarket for refund.....and get another cabbage.
