Cabbage w/Peas & Tomatoes

7/15/2020

Cabbage cooked with green peas along with turmeric & spice mix to add taste as well as health! One-pot recipe.

Cabbage is such an easy vegetable to cook & so affordable. I always buy organic cabbage for myself and my dogs. It is also a powerful anti-cancer agent as it detoxifies the body...very fast and even more than that, it is rich in sulfur compound called sulforaphane (the same one found in garlic, onions and other cruciferous vegetables).

It has many benefits as listed here -

1. It is a digestive - a detoxifying veggie that also aids in weight loss. This same reason it helps in stomach issues like constipation, ulcers, bloating and helps in providing roughage to the diet.
2. It helps beautify your skin. Anything that detoxifies and is a digestive will help with skin and hair. But cabbage also contains good amount of vit C.
3. Sulfur - that cabbage smell? Yep, sulfur. One of the most anti-cancer mineral and one that is needed to fight infections fast - sulfur is therefore crucial.
4. Contains anti-inflammatory compound called glutamine.
5. Great for vision, blood pressure, bones and brain health.

There you go! So more cabbage from now on..:)
