The Benefits of Cabbage

Jan 25

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!

    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.
