Yes, this was my lunch one day last summer. And I ate every bit by myself. I offered some to Betty, and she declined.
Do you have any idea how long it takes to chew a container of Red (I call it Purple) Cabbage?
Well, now that you asked, I am glad to tell you… a long time!
If your jaws are not used to this type of a workout, you could be a bit sore later on from the effort.
But it is good. It is really good for you too.
This deep color indicates there are more anti oxidants in the vegetable as well in fruits.
The color of most cabbage you see in the stores will be the light green color, but they almost always have this rich purple available too.
It is my favorite!
Just like Grapes. We are so accustomed to seeing the ‘white’ grapes but the Red Grapes are actually better for you since they have more color/ antioxidants….THEN there are my favorite, the ‘Black” Grape.
Anyway, back to the Cabbage…. the Purple Cabbage.
I add this vegetable to Breakfast, Lunch, Supper, Dinner, and Snacks.
Now as for those nearly 60 years before I became Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB)… I would have never eaten this Cabbage, raw, cooked or canned. Nor the “White’Cabbage either.
I didn’t like the way it tasted. It was not fried and did not have any meat. My attitude in those days was WHY EAT IT?!
These days, post WFPB, it is my favorite food…. well, with a lot of other new favorite foods…. all WHOLE FOODS Plants and the such.
My taste changed, and changed BIG TIME.
It is so wonderful when you recover the function of taste in the tongue. Mine was so burned out by salt and processed sugar, I had to ‘chase the dragon’ to ever enjoy the taste of anything.
Not now…. raw cabbage, the stalk of Broccoli, Grapefruit, Washington Delicious Apples, Tofu, Collard, Mustard, Turnip Greens, KALE ! it all tastes wonderful! Sometimes the stalk of Collard Greens is like a delightful candy bar it is so sweet.
I love eating WFPB. And I love that I can STUFF MY FACE anytime I get hungry. And the entire time I ….
NEVER COUNT CALORIES, NEVER MEASURE PROTEIN, and I FEAR NO CARBS!

and….. I eat as many fruit as I possibly can, every day. Like a BOSS!!!
