One possibility is the residue of soil or insect eggs, in which case it is edible as long as it is washed with water. Another possibility is that the cabbage has small black spot disease, which is usually caused by improper fertilization or storage conditions during the planting process. If the black dots are small, we can cut off this part directly with a knife and continue to eat. But if the black spots are large and the leaves are already showing signs of wilting, then it may be due to the fact that the cabbage is infected with mold and is starting to rot, at which point we should avoid eating it. For cabbage with black spots, we can determine whether it is edible or not by carefully observing and judging. If the number of small black dots is not large and does not affect the freshness and quality of the whole cabbage, then we can still eat it with confidence.
