Cabbage, white, boiled in unsalted water

White cabbage is a leafy vegetable. The figures here describe cabbage boiled in unsalted water. It mainly provides water, with small amounts of carbohydrate and fibre, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 3.2g of carbohydrate, 2.1g of fibre, 18mg of vitamin C and 41µg of vitamin K1.

Fibre supports normal bowel function. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods and is needed for normal collagen formation, while vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Cabbage prepared without added salt has a low salt content; adding salt, butter or sauces changes its nutritional composition. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
