In its raw state, cabbage contains iron, calcium & potassium.
High marks are given for its vitamin C content.
Cabbage is also high in vitamins B1, B2 & B3.

Researchers have learned that foods in the cabbage family
inhibit the growth of breast, stomach & colon cancer
due to phytochemicals called indoles.  
Some of the phytochemicals seem to produce anticancer enzymes.

Pickling is an excellent way to preserve the vitamin C in cabbage.
Lengthy cooking tends to lower the nutritional value considerably.

Also, when cooking with cabbage, don't forget about the core.
Many people toss it out, but it has healthful nutrients
and deserves a place in a healthy diet.
