Desoto County Extension Office - Cabbages Can Be Both Red and Green

Cabbages can be both red and green.

Red cabbage contains the powerful antioxidant anthocyanin, this antioxidant gives red and purple fruits and vegetables their bright colors. Anthocyanin can help prevent certain cancers.

A great way to enjoy cabbage is in a fermented form such as sauerkraut and kimchi. These fermented cabbage products are full of probiotics. Because of the abundance of probiotics in these fermented foods, they can be one of the best foods to eat for your immune and digestive systems. 

Easy tips for eating more cabbage:Add shredded cabbage to a fresh green saladAdd chopped cabbage to any soup or stew near the end of cookingAdd sauerkraut or kimchi as a condiment to add acidity, heat, and flavor to a meal 

Winter walking outdoors can help you get exposure to sunlight, which may help ward off seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that some people experience during the winter months.  Try adding five more minutes to the end of today’s mile.
