  2. Cabbage soup does not appeal to me, but I might give the other two a go, substituting the mince with Quorn mince. My favourite way to eat cabbage is either in cole slaw or colcannon. Braised red cabbage is my favourite vegetable of all.

  3. I do like cabbage, both white and red. Cabbage rolls are one of my favourite ways to eat it, or simply sauteed until soft, with onions. Glad to read it's so good for us!

  23. Hi Jan,
    It's truly remarkable how cabbage, often overlooked, is such a powerhouse of nutrition and health benefits. Your highlight of its rich vitamin content and potential to lower disease risk, improve digestion, and fight inflammation underscores the importance of incorporating this versatile vegetable into our diets. The mention of cabbage as a tasty and economical ingredient in recipes further elevates its appeal. I'm intrigued by the recipes you've suggested and look forward to exploring how they showcase cabbage's culinary versatility. It's inspiring to be reminded of the simple yet profound impacts that mindful food choices, like incorporating more cabbage, can have on our overall health and well-being.
    Best regards to you and Eddie from Seattle!
