What does SAVOY mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A variety of cabbage with dark green leaves that are deeply crinkled and curled.
Savoy is grown widely as a winter vegetable because its crinkled leaves hold up well to cold weather and give the head a looser, more open shape than a smooth cabbage. The name comes from the Savoy region of the Alps, where the variety was long cultivated, though the lowercase word now refers simply to the vegetable itself rather than the place. Cooks value savoy for its milder flavour and more tender texture compared with white or red cabbage, and it is often used for wrapping other ingredients. It can be boiled, braised, stir-fried or used raw in salads once the tougher outer leaves are removed.
