Vegetables Brassicas & Cabbages Phytochemical data available 🇬🇧 CoFID 2021 · 13-348
✦ High in vitamin C ✦ Source of folate ✦ Source of beta-carotene ✦ Fibre-rich

Spring greens are loose-leaved cabbages harvested before a firm head forms, with a fresh, mild flavour. They are a good source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin K and beta-carotene, and supply fibre and a little calcium.

Preparation note

Raw shredded spring greens keep the most vitamin C; use young tender leaves for salads and slaws.

Why are some phytochemicals missing? Nutriofia tracks over 50 bioactive plant compounds — including allicin, betanin, glucosinolates, lignans, and polyphenols — but comprehensive measurement data simply doesn't exist yet for most foods. Unlike vitamins and minerals, phytochemical analysis is still an active area of food science research. When a compound doesn't appear here, it means no published measurement exists for this food, not that the food lacks it. We update our database as new data becomes available.
Primary data source for this entry: McCance & Widdowson's Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID 2021), Public Health England. Source record tag: CoFID 2021. Phytochemical data: USDA Flavonoid Database Release 3.3 (2018) and published analytical literature as indicated on each compound.
