Cabbage is a leafy vegetable low in calories and rich in Vitamin C, fiber and folate. Did you know there are over 400 different types of cabbage?
Cabbage is a great source of vitamin C and has powerful cancer-fighting nutrients. However, once cabbage is cut the amount of vitamin C decreases. When cooking cabbage, cook uncovered, just until tender. Strong smelling cabbage is a result of overcooking.
