Cabbage is an impressive medicinal food, rich in antioxidant nutrients like vitamins A, C, B and K1 and an array of anti-inflammatory compounds. It has been shown to help heal stomach ulcers and offer other benefits to digestion, while tons of research has revealed its potent cancer preventative properties. Interestingly, the anti-cancer compounds (glucosinolates) are not configured alike in the different types of cabbage (red, green and Savoy), which suggests you should aim to eat a variety of cabbage for the best health effects. Cabbage is best eaten raw to best preserve its many nutrients (as in homemade coleslaw or salad). Alternatively, it may be lightly steamed, juiced or fermented (like sauerkraut). Enjoy!
