C is for Cabbage

Hi, beautiful people of the universe!
Cabbage has long been a kitchen staple, and for good reason—it’s versatile, nutritious, and delicious. Personally, it’s an all-time favorite that I love to prepare in two ways. First, as a hearty soup, served piping hot and paired with a fresh jar of Louisiana hot sauce to add just the right kick. Second, fried up with a medley of colorful peppers, caramelized onions, and savory sausage—a sizzling, flavorful combination that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
But there’s more to cabbage than its mouthwatering appeal. Did you know that cabbage is composed of about 92% water? This high water content not only makes it a fantastic low-calorie food option but also offers some incredible health benefits. When included in your meals, cabbage acts as a natural hydration booster, helping to keep your body well-moisturized from the inside out.
Beyond hydration, cabbage is also a champion for digestion. Its water content aids in breaking down food efficiently, while its fiber content supports regularity and gut health. Whether you enjoy it raw in a crisp slaw, simmered in a broth, or sautéed to perfection, cabbage is a culinary powerhouse that fits seamlessly into any meal plan.
So the next time you’re planning a meal, consider reaching for this humble yet mighty vegetable. With endless possibilities and undeniable benefits, cabbage deserves a spot at the center of your table.
