Hello friends of City of Neoxian ❤️💕.

Today I return to share with you on a healthy vegetable that we are all missing something from which is Cabbage 🥬. A superfood with an outstanding nutrient profile and one that’s exceptionally high in vitamins C and K.

Cabbage is one of those foods you don’t often thinking about, unless for those who knows what they are benefiting from this dense, leafy 🥬 vegetable. While it looks similar to a head of lettuce, cabbage is actually a member of the “cruciferous” vegetable group that includes broccoli 🥦, kale, radishes, Brussel and more.

Cabbage comes in a variety of colors - green, white , purple and red, and gas been grown around the world 🌎 for thousands of years, being a common ingredient in many dishes such as kimchi and sauerkraut, a well known delicacy in Asia especially Korea 🇰🇷

Cabbage like other cruciferous vegetables 🥗, is parked with vitamins and minerals that our body craves, while remaining low in calories. And given its nutritional profile, it certainly qualifies as a superfood, but we always see other vegetables as more trendy and fashionable.

And along with being low in calories, salt and sugar, cabbage 🥬 offers us some fiber and protein as well which is why we should see cabbage as an important healthy food for balance diet that can support our digestive system . We should therefore also note that protein from plants 🌱 is considered a healthy alternative to protein from meat 🍖, especially for vegans and vegetarians.

However, cabbage 🥬 is a source of antioxidants which are compounds that helps the body fight against what we know as radicals which are compounds that can damage the body cells. Free radicals are thought 💭 to contribute to the development of disease 🦠 such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Antioxidants helps reduce the free radicals in our body and also improve our immune system, fighting inflammation that can be a damage to our body.

This humble vegetable,”cabbage” 🥬 may not seem like a superfood in the classic sense. But this everyday vegetable is packed with benefits for good health. And one last thing to know is that cooked cabbage as a vegetable gives and supplies us with more antioxidants such as carotenoids and ferulic acid than they do when eaten raw.

Thank you for visiting and reading my blog friends of hive. See you soonest again ❤️❤️
