Nature's Wonder
Why We love it?
When chopped, it yields a pile of slaw-ready shreds loaded with vitamins A, C and K, fiber and detoxifying sulfur compounds. Red cabbage also boasts anthocyanins, an antioxidant thought to keep your heart healthy and brain sharp.
This food is very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folate, Calcium, Iron and Magnesium, Potassium and Manganese.
It is a hardy vegetable and grows well both in cold and warm climates.
It is cheap. At about 63cents per pound, 1/2 cup shredded cabbage costs about 6 cents!!!
