Red Cabbage
Red cabbage is a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable recognized by its vibrant purple-red leaves, a result of its high anthocyanin antioxidant content. Its firm, tightly packed heads offer more fiber and vitamin C than green cabbage, with a peppery flavor that mellows when cooked. Commonly eaten raw in salads and slaws for crisp texture, it also develops sweeter notes when braised or pickled, though alkaline cooking methods may turn its color bluish-gray.
