Red Cabbage

Did you know that cabbage leaves have natural antiseptic properties and can be applied directly to wound and bruises to help relieve pain and healing? 

• Red cabbage is higher in immunity boosting carotenes than other cabbages. 
• Red cabbage is also higher in vitamin C than pale varieties and is a good source of minerals including calcium and selenium.

Sprinkle red cabbage with lemon juice to prevent it from turning gray. Once cut, red cabbage should be used within one to two days. When cooking, steaming preserves the maximum nutrients, so try not to overcook.
