Cabbage is one of the most potent medicinal foods available, with almost 500 studies demonstrating its cancer-preventive and anti-inflammatory properties. It grows during late fall through winter, making it a perfect and inexpensive choice for cold-weather meals. This versatile vegetable can be added to salads or mixed into fresh vegetable juice.
What many people love most about cabbage is its crunchiness – here’s one way to enjoy it without losing its “crunch factor.”
