October Local Food Spotlight: Cabbage
Health Benefits of Cabbage
Cabbage is a versatile and nutrient-packed vegetable that deserves a place on every plate. Just half a cup of fresh or cooked cabbage provides an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K, along with fiber and folate. These nutrients support immune health, bone strength, and digestive wellness.
As a cruciferous vegetable, cabbage is rich in phytochemicals—natural compounds that help strengthen the immune system and may lower the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Including cabbage in meals is a simple way to add variety, flavor, and powerful nutrition to a balanced diet.
A helpful tip for healthy eating is to make half of every plate fruit and vegetables. Adding cabbage to salads, soups, stir-fries, or slaws is an easy way to meet daily nutrition goals.
