Get fresh with cabbage
There's no denying that cabbage isn't the most popular kid in the cruciferous class.
It can be daunting to deal with due to its size, and some may give it a bad rap for being boring. But this vegetable packs a whole lot of nutritional punch and can be prepared in a variety of delicious ways. Rich in antioxidants and containing anti-inflammatory properties, cabbage is believed to help cancer prevention. It's also an excellent source of vitamins C and K, and it's a great source of fiber and folate.
