Nutrients in Cabbage

Cabbage is very healthy and contains a range of nutrients that are important for health. It contains large amounts of Vitamin K which is a fat-soluble vitamin useful for helping wounds to heal. There is also a small amount of evidence to suggest it may also keep bones healthy.

Vitamin C is found within cabbage in moderate levels. Vitamin C protects and helps to keep the cells in our body healthy. It is also important to help maintain healthy skin, bones and cartilage. Vitamins found in smaller amounts include, folate, manganese, vitamin B6, calcium, potassium and magnesium.

As you see there are many benefits to eating cabbage and if you don’t enjoy boiled cabbage then give this recipe a try.
