]]> Purple or red cabbage has long been a part of a healthy diet, given its benefits. Among the different varieties, red cabbages are considered superior in terms of nutrients. These have a reddish-purple hue due to the presence of a flavonoid and antioxidant called anthocyanin. Purple or red cabbage is also a rich source of dietary fibre, and vitamins C and K. Consuming this vegetable may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve the immune and digestive systems.

Cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, watercress, pak choy, arugula, radishes (including horseradish), and brussels sprouts, can potentially prevent DNA damage and metastatic cancer spread, activate defenses against pathogens and pollutants, help to prevent lymphoma, boost your liver detox enzymes, target breast cancer stem cells, and reduce the risk of prostate cancer progression. The component responsible for these benefits is thought to be sulforaphane, which is formed almost exclusively in cruciferous vegetables.

Below are 10 health benefits of red or purple cabbage:

  1. Helps fight inflammation
  2. Boost immunity
  3. Promote heart health
  4. Enhance gut health
  5. Strengthen your bones
  6. Protect against certain cancers
  7. Helps in weight loss
  8. Maintain healthy skin
  9. Improves brain health
  10. Good for eye health

Brassica microgreens, vegetables and seeds are a potential sources of anticarcinogenic glucosinolates, antioxidant metabolites (vitamin C, β-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin), phenolic acids, flavonols and anthocyanins. Broccoli has been labelled as a “superfood” because of its well-documented health-promoting benefits.

 

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea in the genus Brassica, which is in the Brassicaceae (or mustard) family. It is an annual plant that reproduces by seed. Typically, only the head is eaten – the edible white flesh sometimes called “curd” (with a similar appearance to cheese curd).[1] The cauliflower head is composed of a white inflorescence meristem. Cauliflower heads resemble those in broccoli, which differs in having flower buds as the edible portion. Brassica oleracea also includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, and kale, collectively called “cole” crops,[2] though they are of different cultivar groups.
