Healthy, because
Red cabbage is full of vital substances. Particularly remarkable is the high content of secondary plant substances, which give red cabbage its characteristic colour and ensure its health benefits. Radical scavengers such as bioflavonoids, chlorophyll, indoles and phenols and the natural colouring agent anthocyanin have been proven to have a cell-protective effect and can, for example, delay the ageing process.
Even smarter
If you prefer, you can also serve the persimmon-red cabbage salad with equally low-fat slices of turkey or chicken breast cold cuts. The persimmon can be replaced by orange or grapefruit fillets, for example.
