Introduction
The rich red color of red cabbage is due to its concentration of anthocyanin polyphenols. These flavonoids are said to act as an anti-inflammatory, and play a therapeutic roles in a number of human diseases. Keep in mind that both anthrocyanin and vitamin C are water-soluble, so try to just use a small amount of water with your cabbage, and the less cooking time, the better.
In addition to being packed with vitamin C and anthocyanins, red cabbage is packed with fiber, vitamin K, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese, and also contains thiamine, riboflavin, folate, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
It's the glucosinolates in cabbage that get the award for their "anticancer" benefits. Red cabbage is one of the best natural source of glucosinolates. In cabbage, glucosinolates get converted to isothiocyanate compounds that, according to research, are said to aid in the prevention of cancers like bladder, breast, colon, and prostate.
Red cabbage can be sautéed and enjoyed on its own; it can be used for salads like this cabbage salad with apples and caraway seeds; or, you can get fancy and use it in this proven?al kale and cabbage gratin dish.

Function
Cabbage of any color is a healthy addition to the diet, but red cabbage has an extra benefit compared to its green relative due to the presence of red, purple or blue pigments called anthocyanins. Scientists are discovering that anthocyanins in plants may have many health benefits, including helping to prevent cancer, improving heart and blood vessel health, improving brain function, vision and diabetes, relieving inflammation and fighting infections.
Raw red cabbage is rich in nutrients. It's an excellent source of vitamin C and of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, which our bodies convert into true vitamin A. Red cabbage is also a great source of vitamin K and a good source of vitamin B6, riboflavin, folate, thiamin and certain minerals, including manganese, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. Red cabbage contains fiber and is almost fat free, and contains a small quantity of natural sugars. Since the water-soluble vitamins leach into the water when cabbage is boiled, red cabbage should be eaten raw, or the boiling water should be drunk. Steaming is a gentler way to cook cabbage. A small amount of a healthy oil should be eaten with the cabbage to enhance the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins.
