One of the Oldest Vegetables

I am one of the oldest known vegetables, and second in popularity only to the potato. Eaten by the Chinese several thousand years ago, I was also used as K-rations when Caesar invaded Britain. They even named a doll after me with my own birth certificate. Eaten with vinegar before a meal I can temper the worst of stomachaches / or hangovers. I am red, pink, green, blue, purple or white and sometimes I can be variegated. I can be a flat, round, or pointed head or in leaf form. I lose moisture rapidly so to avoid wilting keep me wrapped and cool. I am a major part of an Irish traditional meal, and a major part of American picnics. I get stuffed, shredded, steamed, baked, or just eaten raw. In many foods stands throughout the world I am fermented and slathered on top of cooked pork parts stuffed in a casing placed inside a roll. When I am being cooked, your nose will let you know I am being heated unless you hide my odor by placed some bread in my cooking liquid. An abundant source of vitamin C, I have also been used as a remedy for sore throats and cataracts. We are low in fat and low in protein, but our high fiber content makes us a good source of roughage.

What am I?

Brussels Sprouts
Cauliflower
Brocolli
Cabbage
