Cabbage contains a unique substance called S-Methylmethionine, also known as “vitamin U”. This substance is not recognized as a vitamin by mainstream science but its healing properties are very much recognized all over the world. Vitamin U helps heal gastrointestinal ulcers at a quicker rate, as well as helps with digestion, skin, and mood.
Surprising to most, a 100 gram serving of cabbage contains 1 gram of protein. It is a common misconception that vegetables are pure carbohydrate and void of any protein. For an easy lunch on a hot summer day, thinly slice cabbage and toss with some pine nuts, and cranberries. Drizzle with a homemade honey Dijon dressing and enjoy!
