BUT NOW, BACK TO THIS CABBAGE!
Cabbage is a cruciferous veggie, just like broccoli, cauliflower & Brussels sprouts so it’s always best to cook it if you have issues digesting this type of veggie!
How will you know if you do?! OH YOU’LL KNOW; if you feel bloated, cramped up, constipated, sluggish or uncomfortably full after you eat them, chances are cooking them will make things easier for you!
Cabbage is one of the world’s healthiest foods & rightfully so! It’s full of nutrients (B vitamins, calcium, potassium, choline, lutein, zeaxanthin), keeps inflammation at bay, provides a good dose of vitamin C for healthy skin, immunity & collagen production, improves digestion, keeps the heart healthy due to high fibre content, lowers blood pressure & cholesterol levels & provides an amazing source of vitamin K for strong bones, as well as a ton of antioxidants!
This side dish is great for lunch or dinner & so yummy, it’ll amp up any salad, buddha bowl or sandwich! Best part is it’s ready in minutes!
