How many calories in Red Cabbage? See below, the Red Cabbage calories for the different serving sizes. We provide you with the Red Cabbage nutrition facts and the health benefits of Red Cabbage to help you to lose weight and eat a healthy diet.

Cabbages get their color depending on the soil type. An alkaline soil produces a green-yellow Cabbage, whilst an acidic soil produces red leaves, due to a pigment called anthocyanin.

Red Cabbages can be cooked or eaten raw. When cooked they may turn blue, so consider steaming instead of boiling. The water will be blue underneath still but the cabbage should remain red. Only steam for a few minutes though, so it retains its crunchy texture.

Red Cabbage has more nutritional benefits than the green variety. It is full of Vitamin C to help your immune system and Vitamin K for healthy bones. Other Red Cabbage benefits include aiding your weight loss program as red cabbages are low in calories but full of fiber, so filling you up quicker. In addition, the anthocyanins are well-documented anti-inflammatory compounds.
