I had that on a Napa cabbage so I looked it up. I know that they’re called pepper spots and it’s safe to eat the cabbage. BUT I’m squeamish and I just couldn’t deal 😵💫

I did some googling because the browning being in the cabbage’s water channels (xylem) interested me. One match was “fusarium yellows” – these links don’t have good pics but the description seems to match.
