Today we're going to talk about red and green cabbage differences. I'm also going to tell you which type of cabbage is healthier.

Red cabbage vs. Green cabbage:

Benefits of red cabbage:

• 10 times more vitamin A than green cabbage

• More Vitamin C than green cabbage (sauerkraut has about 10 times more vitamin C than unfermented cabbage)

• 2 times more iron than green cabbage

• Anthocyanins (ant-cancer, anti-inflammatory, reduces free radical damage)

Benefits of green cabbage:

• More vitamin A than red cabbage

Both green cabbage and red cabbage contain:

• Phytonutrients

• Sinigrin—sulfur (anti-cancer)

• Polyphenols

• Flavonoids

• DIM

One of the biggest health benefits of cabbage (both types) is for:

• Ulcers and gastritis (juice of the cabbage, sauerkraut, coleslaw)

More cabbage benefits:

• Cabbage is good for the blood sugars

• Cabbage can help balance estrogen dominance

Which type of cabbage is healthier?

Both red cabbage and green cabbage are healthy. Red cabbage has a little bit more nutrients. I actually recommend consuming both types of cabbage.

So today we're going to talk about the difference between red cabbage and green cabbage as far as which one is healthier.
0:50.0	So in red cabbage we have 10 times more vitamin A than in green cabbage.
0:55.0	But of course that vitamin A is a pre-Vitamin A, it's beta carotene, it's not retinol, so it has to be converted into the active form, but still there's many benefits of

1:20.8	milligrams per day of vitamin C.
1:23.9	And the reason of bringing this up
1:25.3	is because sourcrough, which is fermented cabbage,
1:30.0	can provide, if you get it from a good source,
1:33.0	like the farmers market, 750 milligrams,
1:37.9	like 10 times the amount of vitamin C
1:40.6	that's just from cabbage.
1:42.0	So when you ferment it, you really enhance the amount of
1:44.4	vitamin C. All right, red cabbage has twice as much iron, and it also has this phytolutrient
1:49.8	pigment called anthocyanins, which have certain properties like anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory,
1:57.2	decreasing free radical damage.
1:59.6	It's a really powerful antioxidant.
2:01.8	And also the green cabbage has a lot of phytonutrients as well.
2:04.8	Both of them have a compound called cinegran which is a softer-based
2:08.7	phytonutrient which is anti-cancer and there's also polyphenols and flabenoids in both types of cabbage.
