Cabbage is one of the healthiest foods when it comes to protective vitamins. Raw cabbage cleans the waste from the stomach and upper bowels which improves digestion and reduces constipation.
Cabbage is known as a cancer inhibitor, particularly colon cancer, cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria, soothes ulcers and improves circulation.
The outer leaves are a good source of vitamin E, making it good for the complexion. Also rich in Vitamin C (raw white cabbage contains as much vitamin C as lemon juice) and sulphur, the cabbage is a health food store in a compact edible package. All these benefits are yours at only 24 calories per 3.5 ounces.
With all those health benefits in mind I hope you enjoy the Stuffed Cabbage Soup recipe that I posted. This was a recipe that Rachael Ray had on her show. YUMM!

MMMmmmm! I’ll have to give that a try! I really want to use smoked paprika in something! I just bought a little container of it!
This was the first time I had used it also. I really liked it, I have a feeling I will be using it more often.
I will have to give this a try…I had some cabbage tonight…I love cabbage. HUGS
And we have a head of cabbage from our CSA sitting in the fridge now, too. Good timing!
I hope you like it. I love cabbage. It’s one of my favorite vegetables.
I love all types of cabbage and I try to incorporate into our diet any chance I get.
