Cabbage, green, raw

Green cabbage is a leafy vegetable, described here in its raw form. It provides fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium. Per 100g, raw green cabbage contains 4.1g of fibre, 48mg of vitamin C, 242µg of vitamin K1 and 288mg of potassium.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods and supports normal collagen formation. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting. For people taking warfarin, keeping vitamin K intake consistent is important because changes can affect how the medicine works. Raw green cabbage is also low in fat and salt.
