Apart from its culinary use, cabbage has also had wide medicinal applications since the ancient times, not only as a part of diets, but also as a material to be placed on painful areas of the body. Wherever we are in the world, it’s almost always safe to say that the generation of our grandmothers certainly knew their cabbage. And they knew well - eating this vegetable provides the body with much-needed vitamins (especially vitamin C and K), minerals and fiber. Furthermore, cabbage helps the body rid itself of toxins, aids in weight-loss and is very beneficial against rheumatism and gout.
