Cabbage can be a vegetable that divides the troops quite starkly & I understand why this would be the case.

It’s flavour can be strong, it’s texture can be….not made the most of, & if over consumed it can lead to gale force warnings if someone’s digestion isn’t ready for the onslaught. Putting all those preconceptions to one side however, today I want to re-introduce you to this incredibly valuable medicinal food, in a format that will 100% bring you back to the side of the fans.

Noted as being a powerful anti-carcinogen, bursting with antioxidants & anti-inflammatory compounds, including more cabbage (of all varieties) into your diet will only be of benefit. And if you are someone who struggles with digestive discomfort then turning to cabbage juice could actually be the answer to your ills.
