Keep it fresh: cabbage adds an often-needed crunch to many a dish. If you’re cutting back on gluten or avoiding carbs, replace your burger bun or wrap with a cabbage leaf. It maintains it’s structural integrity despite the juicy fillings. Say goodbye to soggy lettuce!
Join the trend: fermented cabbage, in the form of kimchi or sauerkraut, promotes gut health and is remarkably easy to make.
