Cabbage salad is one of the dishes that should be eaten daily because of its health benefits. It is rich in vitamins and fibre. Cabbage can be eaten raw and chopped and used to prepare cabbage salad, and it can also be used cooked in soups and stews.
Cabbage of all types and colours is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, but purple or red cabbage is distinguished by its content of compounds called anthocyanins, which give it its distinctive colour. These compounds have several benefits for health.
Red or purple cabbage is low in calories – as mentioned previously – in addition to being rich in fibre, which enhances the feeling of satiety, so eating it as part of a healthy and balanced diet may help lose weight.
