Cabbage steaks
My Great Grandmother Arizona Henry loved her cabbage. It was served several times a week at our house. Cabbage is healthy, goes with any dish, and it’s delicious. It can be the entire meal or served as a side dish.
Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that helps reduce your risks of certain cancers. Cabbage is low in calories, low in carbohydrates, and very high in fiber. It is loaded with vitamin C and Vitamin K. A recent medical study found a diet high in cabbage was found to lower your chances of type 2 diabetes.
Fermented cabbage is even healthier because it makes probiotics that nourish the bacteria in the gut. Whether you cook it, eat it raw or steamed, or add it to soups, just add some cabbage for a healthier meal.
