Would you also eat kosher taste??
I heard that it might be from the same plant as bodek. Anyone know?

I received a bag of shredded cabbage and would make coleslaw if I could verify the kashrus.

What is the hechsher? Why would someone go through all the effort to make a kosher produce plant and have it not be kosher? It’s a niche market.

Plus shredded cabbage is an easier kind of veggie I think.

We eat kosher taste. And are pretty strict.

We eat kosher taste cuz of the hechsher . but their stuff never looks fresh so we hardly buy it. So end up getting positive or bodek.

I actually just asked a rov today. I asked rabbi Nathanson who works in kashrus. He said that shredded cabbage and coleslaw are good without a hechsher, as long as it’s not organic and it’s triple washed or thoroughly washed. Though he did warn me that some seasons there are infestations, currently they’re fine

The wife of one of Bodek partners told that Kosher Garden is the same lettuce as Positiv

It doesn’t say kosher garden, it says kosher taste.

I only eat Kosher Garden/Bodek/Positiv for lettuce (actually only Positiv and Kosher Garden for Romaine lettuce) . But for cabbage, I was told Kosher Taste is fine. Cabbage is less infested. I just received some cabbage from the school distributions, and asked a shaila...

I eat Positive and Kosher Garden also. I do not use Bodek. I try to buy products that are greenhouse grown only. Bodek is NOT Greenhouse grown.

Re: triple washed lettuce. I once found more than a few aphids in a bag. I was so grossed out! The bag had all kinds of heksherim, but it wasn't enough.

From then on, I buy regular lettuce and check it all for myself. It's worth a few extra minutes, and I feel a lot more comfortable.

For cabbage, even if it has a heksher, I would rinse it well and spin dry before using. Even if there's no bugs, it will help crisp it up.

(Be aware the anything precut has been treated with a chemical that keeps the cut edges from turning brown, and to help extend shelf life. It's healthier to use whole produce anyway, and avoid the processing.)
