7.It’s Flexible
Literally — you can bend it — and also because of the many ways you could use it. You can steam, boil, sauté, stir-fry, and bake it. Chop it raw for coleslaw and other salads, or use whole leaves as a heart-healthy substitute for tortillas or sandwich bread. That’s a great way to add nutrition while you cut carbs and calories.
8.It’s Affordable
Fresh green cabbage costs an average of 62 cents a pound. That’s about 26 cents per cooked edible cup, which gives you two servings. That makes it one of the cheapest vegetables you can buy. Only potatoes cost less (20 cents per cup). You know what that means: More sauerkraut, kimchi, and coleslaw for everyone!
