Red cabbage is not only a bright and attractive vegetable, but also a real treasure trove of useful substances. It differs from white cabbage and other types of cabbage by its rich colour, which is due to the high content of anthocyanins – powerful antioxidants. These substances help protect the body from inflammation, support heart health and improve eyesight.
