Portuguese Cabbage

Portuguese Cabbage is a leafy cruciferous green used across Southern U.S., Portuguese and other cuisines — often braised, sautéed or added to soups and stews. It is known for its sturdy, slightly bitter leaves and ability to stand up to long cooking times, which makes it a common winter green. As a vegetable, Portuguese Cabbage is low in calories and provides a good amount of fiber, with 4g of fiber per 100g, along with plant protein and vitamin C. It is also a notable dietary source of vitamin K and several other micronutrients important for bone and blood health. Portuguese Cabbage contains beneficial plant compounds typical of cruciferous vegetables — modest amounts of glucosinolates and carotenoids — which contribute antioxidant and potential detoxification benefits, while its overall nutrient profile makes it a healthful addition to a balanced diet.
