Cabbage is packed with vitamin C, has the power to reduce inflammation, and can improve heart health, yet the veggie does not get the amount of love it deserves. If you want to add cabbage to your diet in a delicious way, here are three dishes to do so.
Coleslaw
The quintessential cabbage dish. Even people who don’t like cabbage tend to dig coleslaw. Shred your leaves (red and green both work well), add in some sliced carrots, and go wild with other toppings. Feel like giving it an Asian spin? Throw in some edamame beans, broccoli, and a peanut butter-soy sauce dressing.
Stuffed Cabbage
Cabbage works as an excellent vehicle to carry other ingredients. The people of Eastern Europe know this well as stuffed cabbage has been a part of their cuisine for years. Combine minced meat with rice, stuff into cabbage leaves, and cook in a tomato-based sauce.
Kimchi
If your tummy feels like it needs some TLC, kimchi can do the trick. The fermented cabbage is a staple at all Korean meals and works wonders for gut health. Cut your cabbage and other veggies, pour over a solution of water, vinegar, and sugar, and allow to sit in a jar to ferment.
