Cabbage has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, lower risk for heart disease and stroke, cut risk of cataracts, speed ulcer healing, inprove digestive health and reduce the risk of spina bifida.
Cabbage contains antioxidants which have been shown to reduce the risks especially of stomach, lung and colon cancer. Sauerkraut has especially been shown to improve digestion.
Of all cabbage varities, raw green cabbage contains the most folic acid and antioxidants. I love eating vinegar based slaw salads, or dinner salads bulked up with shredded cabbage. It's a great filler and it's very cheap!
