Cabbage offers a strong team of cancer fighters including flavonoids, indoles, phenolic acid, plant sterols and sulforaphane that can stop the growth of cancer at every stage of its development. In addition, red cabbage provides extra disease fighting potential due to its anthocyanin pigments that create its brilliant purple colour. Red cabbage has twice the vitamin C content of green-white cabbage and supplies calcium, magnesium and phosphorous to support strong bones and healthy blood pressure. Although green-white cabbage is lacking the powerful purple colour, it does supply a large amount of cancer fighting compounds and contains twice as much folate as its red counterpart. The combination of vitamin C and folate in cabbage helps to cut the risk of heart disease. Both red and green-white cabbage contain glutathoine a powerful antioxidant that supplies long lasting disease protection. Action Tip: Add shredded cabbage to salads and use a combination of green and red cabbage in coleslaw. Add a different twist to sandwiches and use red cabbage instead of lettuce. |
