Healthy, because
With around 50 mg per 100 grams, savoy cabbage is one of the top suppliers of vitamin C. One portion (200 grams) covers the daily requirement of this vitamin! In addition, the cabbage shines through its abundance of nutrients and minerals, especially iron, protein, and magnesium.
Even smarter
If you want to be creative, you can also modify the filling. Instead of whole grain rice, you can partially replace it with wild rice, which provides the rice filling with additional dietary fibers that promote digestion, or you can replace the whole grain rice completely with quinoa for the extra protein.
