There are so many reasons to add more cabbage to you diet! Like other green vegetables, it is good source of many essential vitamins such as riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and thiamin.
It is also a very natural source of electrolytes and minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, iron and magnesium, which can help control heart rate and blood pressure. Iron is required for red blood cell formation and is an important mineral for expecting mothers as it helps in avoiding anemia.

Here are two easy ways to add cabbage to your meals!
Roast it! Slice it and lay the slices flat on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic and salt and pepper!
So easy and so good!
I also really like my cabbage sauteed with pretty much anything! This was an easy lunch just sauteed cabbage and chicken seasoned with salt and pepper and garlic!
And an simple clean coleslaw recipe always hits the spot!
You just need-
Cabbage
carrots (optional)
Apple Cider vinegar
olive oil
drizzle of real maple syrup
salt
pepper
and garlic powder
I just make this in small batches and I just add those ingredients to taste! And then toss it up! And enjoy!
And of course don't forget my chicken pad thai recipe !!
So give cabbage a try today!
And if you try any of my recipes or ideas I would love to hear from you in the comments!!
Here is one of my favorite cabbage recipes and it goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteOreiental Chicken Salad
1 1/2 heads of cabbage diced and cut into edible chunks (I use green and purple for color)
1 bag of shredded carrots
Sugar Snap Peas (again I add these for the color).
3 packages of Roman Noodles Chicken Flavor (crush up the noodles and add to a big bowl, set seasoning packets aside).
1 bundle of green onions (or leeks if you would like a more subtle flavor)
1 pound chicken breast cooked in 1/4 cup of soy sauce (I never use a whole 1/4 a cup but some people do).
Mix all the above ingredients into large bowl (LARGE bowl this makes a ton)
Dressing
1 cup oil
6 Tablespoons vinager
3 Tablespoons white sugar
3 packets chicken flavored Roman Noodle seasoning.
pepper about 1/2 tsp or more if you would like.
Combine and shake well, until sugar is disolved
Add dressing to salad and let sit (this salad gets really good the longer it sits, I usually don't eat my first bowl for about four hours)
Though the dressing as a lot of oil this again makes a ton of salad so it is very manageable for the servings. This is my favorite way to eat cabbage.
The last time i made this I added more carrots and peas and left out the crushed Roman Noodles. It made it a little healthier and a great way to get all my veggies. If you do add veggies they have to be tough. Tomatoes or peppers don't hold up well in this salad.
