Repollo, known as cabbage in English, is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in cuisines worldwide, from Asian stir-fries to European stews and Latin American dishes. Packed with nutrients, repollo is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, which contribute to a healthy immune system, improved digestion, and reduced inflammation. It’s low in calories, making it a great option for weight management. Varieties include green, red, and Savoy, each offering unique textures and flavors. Red cabbage, in particular, contains anthocyanins, which may support heart health. While generally nutritious, enjoying repollo raw or lightly cooked preserves its nutrients better than boiling for long periods. This versatile vegetable is also a traditional filing ingredient in tacos, salads, and fermented dishes like kimchi and sauerkraut, which support gut health due to probiotics. However, as a cruciferous vegetable, it may cause bloating for some individuals.
