Apples, the key ingredient, are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and a variety of antioxidants, while cabbage adds vitamin K and folate to the mix. This dish is typically low in calories and fat, making it a nutritious side dish or light meal option. It offers a balance of flavors and essential nutrients that can complement various dietary lifestyles while supporting overall health.
