Cabbage Confetti
Prep Tip: Choose firm cabbage heads that feel heavy and are tightly-packed. Before use, rinse cabbage thoroughly and remove tough outer leaves. Cut in half and trim core. Store whole or chopped cabbage in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator, and use within one week.
Change It Up: Try adding shredded carrots or apples. Add any type of cabbage to your favorite sandwiches or soup for a nutritional boost.
Nutrition Tip: Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that is rich in phytochemicals, which help support immune system health and help lower the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer, and is an excellent source of vitamin C.
