Red cabbage is surging in popularity, with sales up 50% last year according to the Daily Mail. As a nutrition expert, I recommend it for its impressive health profile—here's why it deserves a spot on your plate.
1. Exceptionally Low in Calories
Like most vegetables, red cabbage is naturally low-calorie, especially when enjoyed raw in crisp salads that make healthy eating effortless.
2. Loaded with Antioxidants Its vibrant color comes from cyanidin, a powerful antioxidant that fights inflammation and protects against harmful free radicals.
3. Packed with Essential Nutrients
Rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, calcium, and fiber. While scientific evidence is lacking, many find cabbage soothing for strep throat symptoms.
