The Benefits of Cabbage
Some of you may be thinking, “ew, cabbage,” but you really do have to believe us that getting past the smell of cooked cabbage is the hardest part.
Cabbage is not only inexpensive, but is also loaded with nutrients and vitamins. Cabbage is abundant in vitamin C, even more so than oranges, meaning that it is a great anti oxidant that helps fight off the common cold. So, if you make yourself a pot of cabbage soup while you are sick, you’re not only fighting the cold, but also eating on a budget.
Low in sodium and calories, cabbage recipes do more than just save you money, they also keep you healthy. A serving size of cooked green cabbage is 1/2 cup with only 16 calories, 6 mg of sodium, and 1.4 g of your daily dietary fiber. Plus, cabbage detoxifies the body from toxins and purifies the blood. It’s a great way for you to start your year off clean.
