About Cabbage

Cabbage is one of the most economical vegetables per serving and a mainstay of the Clean Fifteen. Its dense leaves are rich in vitamin K and vitamin C, plus glucosinolates — sulfur-containing compounds that break down into biologically active molecules linked to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Fermented cabbage (sauerkraut, kimchi) also delivers gut-friendly probiotics.
