Rospotrebnadzor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory reminded what beneficial properties cabbage has.

This vegetable, according to experts, improves brain function, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, helps the cardiovascular system, regulates blood pressure, reduces bad cholesterol, normalizes liver function and gastric acidity, and also strengthens the nervous system.

“Cabbage contains vitamin C, which slows down the aging of the body, enhances collagen production and helps strengthen the immune system. 100 g of vegetable contains 67% of the daily requirement of vitamin C. Vitamin K normalizes metabolism, supports liver function and maintains healthy bone tissue. Silicon improves the condition of skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and prevents abrasion of cartilage tissue,” the press service said.

But eating too much cabbage may not be very beneficial as it can lead to bloating.

To choose cabbage, you need to pay attention to the head itself. It should be dense, smooth, without damage, black spots or cracks. The pale to bright green leaves should be smooth, firm, and fit tightly to the head.

“The brighter the shade, the earlier the harvest was harvested. The stalk should be without cracks; if it darkens, it means that the vegetable has begun to rot from the inside. A transparent stalk indicates that the fruit was frozen,” experts explained.
