About Cabbage, red, raw
Red cabbage is the deep purple-red member of the cabbage family, and its dramatic color is more than decoration — it comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidant pigments that color blueberries and red wine. The color is so reactive it even shifts toward blue or pink depending on whether it meets something acidic or alkaline.
At around 34 calories per 100 grams it is light but more nutrient-dense than green cabbage, offering notably more vitamin C along with vitamin K, vitamin B6, potassium, fiber and those anthocyanin antioxidants. It is a genuinely good-value vegetable for the nutrition it delivers.
Its sturdy leaves keep a satisfying crunch, which makes red cabbage excellent shredded raw into slaws and salads where it adds color and bite. Cooked slowly with a little acid — the classic braise with apple and vinegar — it turns tender and sweet while holding on to its ruby color.
