About Koolsla
Koolsla, also known as coleslaw, is a classic dish originating from Dutch cuisine, with its name deriving from the Dutch 'kool' (cabbage) and 'sla' (salad). Typically made with shredded raw cabbage and a dressing, variations often include carrots or onions. Its nutritional profile reflects its base ingredients and dressing; traditional Koolsla provides about 150 calories per serving, is low in protein (1g) but higher in fats (12g), primarily from the dressing. It contains essential nutrients like vitamin C (20mg), some fiber (2g), and small amounts of calcium (30mg) and iron (0.5mg). Fiber and micronutrients contribute to its acceptability as part of a balanced meal, though the fat and sugar content depend on the type of dressing used.
