The Nutritional Benefits of Cabbage

Did you know that cabbage is very good for your health? Its nutritional benefits are amazing! This includes both common varieties of cabbage and oriental cabbage. Cabbage contains antioxidants that protect you from many types of cancer. They include bladder, breast, cervix, lung, mouth, throat, ovarian, prostate and stomach. When you get that little side order of cole slaw in the restaurant, be thankful and eat it up!
Cabbage contains absolutely no cholesterol. Not only that but it contains 33 mg. of calcium, 10 mg. magnesium, 16 mg. phosphorous, 172 mg. of potassium, 13 mg. sodium, 9 mg. vitamin A, and small amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, iron, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
Cabbage is a member of the cruciferous family. Not only cabbage but broccoli, kale, cauliflower, parsley, brussels sprouts, and other dark green leafy vegetables are all very nutritious and contain the many important vitamins and minerals listed above.

Great hub, I love cabbage and your hub gives me all the more reason to encourage my family to eat it at dinner!
Yummy-yum. I love cabbage and eat it raw for snacks. Sometimes I cook it or do a quick saute and my son loves it that way. Susie, it is great to see these healthy food Hubs. Thank you very much.
Welcome Katy, Monkeyboy, and Hyphenbird! Thanks for stopping by. Funny how we don't really think about some of these kinds of veggies being so good for us. I didn't really either, until I decided to do some research.
I agree, Susie! I learned how to make coleslaw with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing and shred a little carrot or red cabbage in for variation. It's crispy, filling, low calorie and nutritious. I like to serve it with roasted chicken to cut the oiliness of the meat.
Hi Susie, I love making my own slaw with fresh cabbage - so crunchy and fresh! Great hub.

Thank you both for visiting! Yes, it really is nutritious. I must say, that after researching it, I knew that it was going to be on my grocery list more often!
This hub is very timely Susie, I have planted 10 cabbage plants in my garden today!
I'm hoping that will encourage me to eat more!
Voting up and thanks for sharing
Wow! That's great! Some people make homemade sauerkraut, which I love. I also love cole slaw and cabbage salad made with raisins. Appreciate your visit.
I've always eaten cabbage but the after math!!!!
Ah, yes. I know what you mean. It can be very gassy, which means it's time to take a tums. (o:
I've been telling some folk recently how great cabbage is as a cancer fighter- one doesn't listen so good- and its great to see you've written on it SusieQ. Boiled cabbage done right is great. Not to crazy about kraut. I like vinegar cole slaw. Didn't know all of the nutrients in cabbage but do now. Thanks SusieQ.
I'm happy to see that you gleaned some useful info from this hub, Alastar. Many people don't think cabbage is nutritious. Thanks for reading.
Thanks - finding good heads of cabbage is tough now - many look shrunken. But purple cabbage is always good looking. My favorite is napa or savory cabbage.
I love coleslaw, but that is the only way I tend to eat cabbage. I had no idea it was so high in calcium and magnesium so I may try to find a few cabbage recipes to make from time-to-time. I just published an article on the health benefits of ginger; maybe I can find a recipe that uses both cabbage and ginger.
Thank you for this information SusieQ, though I don't mind cabbage, it's not in my list of favourite vegetables. Mmm, think I might just change my habits. Very informative and useful hub and voted as such.
Mountain Mike, Ktrapp, Fennelseed; Thank you all for reading and learning about cabbage! I should have put an image of Cabbage Patch Kids on this hub! (O: Coleslaw is great but about corn beef and cabbage? It does have many vitamins and so much better than supplements! I sometimes put ginger in my tea!
A shout-out to cabbage! Yay! I love cabbage! One of my favorite recipes is stuffed cabbages leaves...that recipe goes back many, many years. My Mom's taste better but my family still enjoys mine :) Great hub Susie!
Go cabbage! Thanks Sunshine, you're welcome to browse my storeroom of hubs anytime, any day...that stuffed cabbage sounds yummy!!!
Wonderful stuff & affordable! Voted up and useful! :) :)
Cabbage is good for all our ailments, including the epizoodiac (what my mom used to say we had when we were "under the weather", boils, and warts on our noses. NOT! Just thought I'd pull a little Halloween trick on you. (: Thanks for reading.
I am addictd to coleslaw and I love to cook with cabbage. Now I can feel good about it!
Yes you certainly can feel good about it, but you shouldn't have it for breakfast! (o:
NIce stuff . VOted up !
Thank you, Ace! Does your name mean that you ace your blogs? Appreciate your visit, come back again sometime.
