Why cabbage earns a spot on THE FAD's top 100 anti-inflammatory foods list.
Cabbage is an inexpensive, long-storing cruciferous vegetable providing fibre and vitamin C, and is also the base ingredient for fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi covered elsewhere on this site.
Raw cabbage in a slaw retains more vitamin C than cooked cabbage, since heat degrades this particular vitamin.
