As sometimes happens with brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, etc) that are grown without pesticides, you may on occasion find a little green caterpillar hiding among florets or under leaves. They spin a little, sticky, weblike thing which makes it hard to simply rinse them out with water. Before cooking to serve, or blanching to freeze, we soak the vegetable in a bowl or sinkful of cold water with salt added. The cabbage worms crawl out and can be easily removed.
