I cut open a purple cabbage and there are some strange sort of greyish, slightly yellowish sprout-like masses inside. Is this normal? I saw another post on this stack with a similar question, but my 'masses' look more...moldy, I guess? Is it immature flower shoots as the other post says?
Is it safe to eat this cabbage? Thank you in advance

1Does this answer your question? What is this yellow and white mass inside my red cabbage?– Peter DunihoCommented May 24, 2020 at 2:45

Well it seems somewhat similar, but as I said, my 'masses' seem much darker, almost moldy ... The other post looks ...fresh. it's just hard to tell. Can you see my image?– DonnaKayeCommented May 24, 2020 at 3:31

You say they look moldy, the picture look moldy and rotting to me too... is there any other smell/texture/anything that is inconsistent with mold or rot?– PhilCommented May 24, 2020 at 5:06

No, not at all - seems fine otherwise– DonnaKayeCommented May 24, 2020 at 7:04

I think what it might be is indeed the 'immature flowering' that the other post concluded, but that this head must be a bit older, and the sprouting flowers have started to decay just a bit...not quite rotten, but dying. Does that seem feasible?– DonnaKayeCommented May 24, 2020 at 7:12
