Super Cabbage!

Move over Kale, Cabbage is the Superhero now!

Kale has been king of the superfoods for a long time now, but Cabbage is moving on up the ranks to dethrone it. Cabbage and kale come from the same plant family, therefore they have similar qualities we look for when choosing the best foods to eat. Cabbage is full of fibre, antioxidants, can help lower cholesterol, vitamins and minerals. To gain the most out of this superfood, you should try to consume cabbage raw, as the more you cook it, you will lose the beneficial aspects that make this vegetable super. Recommended cooking methods include steaming or lightly sautéing it - if cabbage is still slightly crunchy, you're good! Try this raw cabbage slaw that is sure to be a hit during this hot summer season.

Ingredients

1/2 Head Red Cabbage, shredded (more antioxidants in red, but you can use any type of cabbage)
2 Carrots, shredded
2 Green Onions, sliced thinly on a diagonal
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1.5 Tbsp Avocado Oil (or you can use olive oil)
Sea Salt & Pepper to taste

1. Quickest way to shred the cabbage and carrots is to toss them into a food processor. If not, just slice them with a kitchen knife - be careful with the cabbage though, you need to remove the centre stem and discard it, but it can be tough to cut and you don't want to eat that!
2. Place the cabbage, carrots, and green onion in a bowl and mix. Add in the apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Combine thoroughly.
3. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Cover slaw and place in fridge for at least an hour for it to absorb the flavours before serving.
