Red Cabbage Slaw, Dried Cherries
We're dropping some nutrition knowledge on you today. Did you know? Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, and cabbage, are a source of phytonutrients.
Now let's break that down. What exactly is a cruciferous vegetable? The Latin name, Cruciferae, means "cross-bearing," which comes from the shape of these flowers, whose four petals resemble a cross. And what are phytonutrients? These are naturally occuring plant compounds that may help to lower inflammation and protect against cancer. Phytonutrients are what make cruciferous vegetables a functional food.
Red Cabbage Slaw, Dried Cherries is a colorful, crunchy, spicy way to fit in those phytos. Serve it aside BBQ chicken, on top of a burger, or mixed into a veg wedge.
