Cabbage, red, raw

Red cabbage is a leafy vegetable. The figures here describe it raw, with the outer leaves and stem removed. It provides carbohydrate and fibre, along with vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 3.7g of carbohydrate, 2.9g of fibre, 55mg of vitamin C and 250mg of potassium.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Vitamin C is needed for the formation of collagen, which supports tissues such as skin and cartilage, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Raw red cabbage contains little fat or salt; added dressings or seasonings can change these amounts. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
