What is red cabbage?
Red cabbage belongs to the brassica group of vegetables, along with Brussels sprouts and kale. It has a peppery taste and crunch when eaten raw, but becomes sweeter and softer when cooked.
Red cabbage is grown in the UK and is in season from September to December. As the plant grows, it forms tight balls of leaves in the centre surrounded by much larger green-purple leaves. When the red cabbage is harvested, the whole plant is picked and the outer leaves discarded, leaving just the cabbage head which is the part we eat.
Red cabbage health benefits include:
- Rich in protective antioxidants
- May support heart health
- May help fight inflammation
- Contains anti-cancer compounds
- May support gut health
