Red cabbage

Red cabbage is a vibrant, round vegetable that belongs to the cabbage family. It is mainly found in the fresh produce section of supermarkets or local markets. Red cabbage is a natural plant-based ingredient that is packed with nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

To produce red cabbage, farmers grow the vegetable in fields until it reaches maturity. The head of the cabbage is then harvested by cutting it from the base of the plant. Once harvested, red cabbage can be eaten raw in salads or coleslaw, or it can be cooked by boiling, stir-frying, or pickling. The deep purple hue of red cabbage can add a pop of colour to various dishes.

Red cabbage often appears on food labels for its vibrant colour and nutritional benefits. It is commonly used in salads, coleslaw, stir-fries, and pickled dishes. Red cabbage can also be cooked and served as a side dish or added to soups and stews for extra flavour and texture. Its versatility in both raw and cooked forms makes it a popular ingredient in many cuisines.
