Red Cabbage

Red Cabbage is a colorful cruciferous vegetable commonly used in European, Asian and Central European cuisines as slaws, braised side dishes, salads and pickles. It is low in calories and relatively high in fiber, making it a good choice for adding bulk and color to meals without many kilocalories; it also provides notable amounts of vitamin C (57mg per 100g) and vitamin K. Nutrition-wise, Red Cabbage is a low-fat, low-protein vegetable that contributes dietary fiber and micronutrients rather than energy or protein; its deep purple color comes from anthocyanin polyphenols, which act as antioxidants. From a health perspective, Red Cabbage is a nutrient-dense vegetable often recommended for its fiber, vitamin content and antioxidant pigments — a useful addition to a balanced diet to boost vegetable variety and color.
