I have a few cabbages growing what I want to ask if they're is a problem when the outer leaves are very big, will this take away the nutrients from the vegetable.

I have been searching for an answer to this question too. I went on the site "Grow with Bonnie". They say farmers do not remove the outer leaves because they capture more sun and produce better cabbages. Hope this helps.
