I'm currently fighting off my 2nd cold of the school year. blah. After doing some reading on natural health remedies I thought it would be good to put my leftover cabbage to good use. Cabbage soup it is. Here is some information I found....
"Health Benefits: Eating cabbage soup can also offer a range of health benefits. Cabbage is packed with nutrients. One cup of cabbage has nearly an entire day's recommended daily allowance of vitamin K, and half the amount of vitamin C you need each day. It also has plenty of fiber and B vitamins. As a vegetable in the cruciferous family, it contains plenty of phytonutrients, or beneficial plant chemicals that are useful for everything from cleansing our system of toxins to lowering our risks for a variety of cancers. In addition, cabbage can contribute to gastrointestinal health, and can be beneficial for a range of women's health issues."

Yummy--cabbage. One of my favourite foods. Just for a treat, I sit down with a wedge of raw cabbage and a bit of salt. Better than candy unless you are having a sweet attack. As for gastrotintestinal health--I will leave that one alone.
Love you,
Mom
