It seems red cabbage is best (in terms of taste & color) raw. My mom, who is a proponent of cooked food, even said: "Red cabbage? Best as it is." But that's just a matter of taste and color. I love the crunch and color it gives me when raw. Like Bob biggles, I used to hate it though. I dunno… It seems red cabbage is best (in terms of taste & color) raw.

I guess Mr. Oscar Wilde was right when he said, "the trouble with youth is that it gets wasted on the young". I did not know it was a cancer fighter too, that's really cool.

It has a unique crunch to it and has a wonderful earthy flavor. I'll be back for the recipes... I love red cabbage raw. It has a unique crunch to it and has a wonderful earthy flavor.

When I did a challenge earlier this year to send a nutritionally complete menu that provided all essential nutrients, I received an email from a woman in Poland. Apparently four simple foods, eaten in a day, can provide essential nutrients (but will not provide enough calories without more added to the diet): 4 oz sardines canned in oil 1 bunch raw broccoli 1 red raw cabbage (small head) 2 oz plain wheat germ Interesting little tidbit.

This is how I make it and even my kids rave over this one. Saute lots of onion and garlic in some butter and olive oil, add shredded cabbage. After 5 minutes or so depending how crunchy you like your cabbage, add a splash of apple juice simmer another 2 minutes. for a completely different flavor add red wine instead of applejuice.
