The health benefits of cabbage — and tasty recipes to add to your menu |
Cabbage is making a comeback, and for good reason. The cruciferous vegetable packs a big nutritional punch into very few calories (we're talking just 22 calories a cup). Cabbage is a good source of fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K. The antioxidants and polyphenols in cabbage have been linked to heart health benefits and reduced risk of mortality, depression, type 2 diabetes and cancer. With its crispiness, it adds a nice texture to plenty of dishes, from salads to tacos. Plus, it's the perfect veggie for fermenting and turning into sauerkraut or kimchi — a great way to get a dose of gut-healthy probiotics.
