Red Cabbage is such a wonderful veggie to have on hand. It's the perfect addition to so many dishes because it provides a welcome crunch if eaten raw, and also helps to cool down any intense heat or spice. Did you guys know that red cabbage is actually much more than just a crunchy garnish, it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all of which are super beneficial to our bodies.

​Here's some facts about red cabbage that are hard to ignore!

  • FIBER - Red Cabbage is full of fibre per serving helping to keep your gut healthy and regular!
  • VITAMINS - Each serving of red cabbage is chalk full of a variety of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with magnesium, iron, and potassium. It's literally loaded with good for your body nutrients.
  • Antioxidants - Antioxidants in red cabbage are abundant and target free radicals in your body. These antioxidants target free radicals that can lead to cancer and skin damage. Every bite of cabbage is literally protecting your body!
  • The combination of vitamins and antioxidants have been shown to reduce the risk of breast and lung cancers.
  • VITAMIN A - The high levels of vitamin A are extremely good for your eyes and their overall health.
  • An amino acid in red cabbage is renowned for reducing inflammation of ulcers.
  • Antioxidants in red cabbage help reduce brain plaque that leads to Alzheimer's.


As with most vibrantly coloured fruits and veggies, red cabbage is a serious superfood. Including it in your diet is super simple if you get creative. It's a great crunchy addition to salads and on sandwiches and burgers. It can be lightly steamed or quickly sauteed but keep in mind, cruciferous veggies lose some of their best qualities through heating so you want to keep it to a minimum to truly get the most out of every bite.

Do you guys eat enough red cabbage? It's not just for coleslaw y'all!
