About Leafy cabbage

Leafy cabbage, a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable, hails from the Brassica family and is a staple in cuisines worldwide, particularly in European, Asian, and African dishes. Known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly peppery taste, cabbage is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and dietary fiber, making it a great choice for immune support and digestion. It’s low in calories and contains antioxidants like polyphenols and sulfur compounds that may promote overall health. While raw cabbage is most nutrient-dense, it’s also delicious when steamed, sautéed, or fermented into dishes like sauerkraut or kimchi. However, over-consumption can cause bloating in those sensitive to its fiber or sulfur content. Leafy cabbage is an economical and versatile vegetable, well-suited for a balanced diet that highlights both health and flavor.
