About Roasted cabbage

Roasted cabbage is a dish commonly found in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Eastern European, Asian, and Mediterranean cooking. By slicing and roasting the cabbage, its natural sweetness is enhanced, and it develops a tender texture with a caramelized exterior. Cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, is highly nutritious, offering a low-calorie, high-fiber food option. A 100-gram serving of raw cabbage contains approximately 25 calories, 2 grams of fiber, and is an excellent source of vitamin K (85% of the daily value) and vitamin C (54% of the daily value). It also provides smaller amounts of potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as polyphenols and sulfur compounds, which are retained when roasted.

Health Benefits

• Supports immune health due to its high vitamin C content (54% DV in 100g of raw cabbage).
• Promotes bone health with its significant vitamin K content, necessary for bone mineralization.
• Aids digestion and supports gut health due to its dietary fiber content (2g per 100g).
