Whether raw, steamed, or fermented, cabbage is a powerful superfood packed with the nutrients our body needs to slow the aging process and bring out your natural, inner beauty. Cabbage is a wealth of antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals including thiamin, riboflavin, folate, calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron, and potassium, vitamins C, A, E, and K, dietary fiber, and the B vitamins' complex.
