- National Cabbage Day is celebrated on February 17 and we are here to give this humble vegetable a makeover. The use of cabbage dates back to 4000 B.C., with origins in Asia, specifically North China, and the Eastern Mediterranean region of Europe.
- Today, the world production of cabbage and other species of the same family nears 69 million tons, with China accounting for 48% of the total. Although cabbage is a vegetable that is taken for granted, its production numbers affirm its popularity across the world and its nutritional value makes them an essential part of every kitchen.
- Cabbage has been around for thousands of years coming in different varieties and flavours. Also, you can enjoy it in a range of ways. You can either eat it raw, steam it, boil it, bake it, braise it, or fry it. You can even ferment it to enjoy it in the future.
- Cabbage is great for weight loss and beautiful skin. A cup of cooked cabbage has only 33 calories in it, and it is low in fat and high in fibre. Cabbage also helps the skin look healthy because it’s rich in antioxidants (including vitamin C and beta-carotene).
