✦ Source of fibre ✦ Source of anthocyanins ✦ Source of vitamin K ✦ Modest sugar from apple

Red cabbage is a leafy brassica whose purple-red colour comes from anthocyanins, plant pigments with antioxidant activity. It is low in calories and provides fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K and folate.

Preparation note

Cooking with apple adds natural sugars and a little extra fibre; the acidity from the apple helps preserve the red colour during slow cooking.
