Cabbage is a healthy, low-calorie vegetable. In fact, it is one of the healthiest vegetables you can find. Boiling it won’t make it lose its nutrients, as long as it’s not overcooked. Boiling also won’t add extra calories unlike frying.
Cabbage is great for weight loss as it is low in fat and high fiber. One serving of 100 g of boiled cabbage with salt contains only 23 calories and provides eight percent of the daily recommended intake of fiber. It also provides 62 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C, five percent of calcium, and two percent of vitamin A. Moreover, it provides good amounts of folate, manganese, potassium, B vitamins, and vitamin K. Cabbage also prevents cancer and fights inflammation, lowering your risk of developing certain diseases.
