The healthiest cabbage that everyone should eat has been named
Cabbage is one of the healthiest vegetables, containing many vitamins and minerals. Experts recommend eating sauerkraut in winter.
Lana Fore, a nutritionist, explained on her website the benefits of kale and what can be cooked with it.
"Green cabbage is a leader in potassium content, which regulates the body's fluid balance and prevents cardiac disorders," the expert explained.
4 useful properties of cabbage:
1. Kale contains many vitamins, minerals, and fiber. In addition, it is low in fat and calories, making it an ideal main dish or side dish.
2. It is rich in antioxidants, containing two important flavonoids - kaempferol and quercetin. They have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and also protect cells from free radicals.
3. Green cabbage contains vitamins C and E, which strengthen the immune system and protect cells from free radicals, as well as vitamin K, which is important for normal blood clotting.
4. It is also rich in vegetable protein and is second only to carrots as a source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is very important for normal vision, and lutein, which is also found in cabbage, helps protect the eyes from age-related damage.
How to cook green cabbage correctly
It can be used to make salads, stewed, roasted in the oven with other vegetables, and used to make delicious smoothies.
Lana advises:
1. Before cooking, rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove any earthy residue, and be sure to dry.
2. Then cut the leaves from thick branches and cut them into thin strips and blanch.
It is worth noting that this type of cabbage can be frozen. To do this, blanch it for 1-2 minutes in boiling salted water.
