Burning Cabbage Chemical Reaction

What's the chemical reaction when you burn a cabbage butt

A hand holds a red lighter toward the cut end of a cabbage on a kitchen counter. The clip then abruptly cuts to a crude animated cabbage-shaped figure being knocked apart or slapped, matching the repeated “ow” sounds and turning the literal burning setup into an absurd punchline. It works as a surreal reaction meme for situations that unexpectedly go wrong or become painful.

Ow, ow, ow, ow.
