According to Dr. Nirupama Rao, a nutritionist at Mumbai's Rigwa Energy Centre, a 100-gram portion of purple cabbage included the following nutrients:
Dr. Rao added that the health benefits of red cabbage include:
1. Lessening inflammation
Purple cabbage contains a lot of anthocyanins and other antioxidants that help the body fight oxidative stress and lessen inflammation.
2. Increasing digestion
The dietary fiber in purple cabbage promotes regular bowel movements, healthy digestion, and the avoidance of constipation.
3. Bone fortification
It lowers the risk of osteoporosis by providing a good amount of vitamin K, which is crucial for bone health.
4. Supporting heart health
Purple cabbage's fiber, potassium, and anthocyanins help lower blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease, which can both improve cardiovascular health.
Relevant advice
Given that cabbage has a lot of fiber and that some people may be allergic to it, Dr. Rao suggests monitoring any adverse responses and cautioning against overindulging in cabbage due to its potential to create gastrointestinal problems like gas and bloating.
Dr. Rao emphasizes that eating purple cabbage in moderation is essential to avoiding any negative consequences and that, contrary to popular belief, red or purple cabbage has no more calories than green cabbage.
Dr. Rao clarified that although some nutrients in cabbage in its colors can be lost when cooked, the majority are retained, and cooking can even make some antioxidants more readily available.
