A super nutritious vegetable, cabbage is crispy and has a mildly bitter flavor. Green, red white and purple varieties are all available.

Cabbage juice helps to detoxify the body of harmful chemicals from the air and food additives. Studies have found that raw cabbage juice is very effective in treating peptic ulcers, probably due to cabbage’s high content of glutamine, an amino acid that has anti-inflammatory properties.

Phytonutrients in the cabbage juice protect the body from free radicals which are cancer causing agents in the body.

Cabbage juice contains vitamin C, K and B6.  It is high in sulphur, iron iodine and is a rich source of vitamin C. It loads with vitamin E and calcium, and very high in anticancer compounds such as dithiolthiones and indoles. Other compounds that help fight cancer including dindolylmethane, sinigrin, lupeol, and sulforaphane.
