that is a good question.
I wash all my fruit and vegetables, in fact I srub them, but if I have to use cabbage I will remove the outer leaves, and if making a salad, wash it after it is chopped.
Then dry in a salad spinner.

you should wash all vegetables before eating them even if home grown... the chemicals in the air are enough of a reason to be washed let alone the other chemicals on veggies to grow and so on...

yes nowadays most vegetables have pesticide on them because the farmers spray it on to keep the pests from eating their crops. well you wouldn't want to be eating pesticide would you? also the air aorund contains alot of bacteria so we should wash the cabbage to prevent the bacteria from causing harm to our body.

Yes - it gets rid of all the chemicals that are used to treat them.
Organic veg doesn't contain chemicals but you might find a few bugs and things in there - so wash them anyway :-)

Definately yes.
They grow out of the ground and are surrounded by dirt (who know whats in that dirt). Just like all leafy greens (and all fruit and veggies for that matter) you should wash it, rinsing under cold water.

Yes.
Firstly because you don't know who's been touching it - from the farmer to the shop keeper, and secondly because it may have bits of soil on it.
Soil can carry certain diseases - for example toxoplasmosis - which can be devestating for pregnant women.
