Napa Cabbage
Cooking Light Magazine chose napa cabbage as their choice ingredient for June. While a cup of cabbage has some calcium, fiber, and vitamin C, the vegetable also has compounds called indoles. Studies are showing that this compound, also found in other cabbages and cruciferous vegetables, may prevent some cancers. Napa cabbage can also be called “celery cabbage” or “Chinese cabbage”.
