Low in calories, but high in fiber, phytonutrients, and minerals, cabbage is a vegetable you're probably taking for granted. Though far less prevalent, cabbage actually contains all the same nutritional benefits as kale, except with the bonus of its signature crisp and peppery taste. So if you're looking for a change in the super-greens that you're serving, try a dish with this nutrient-dense leafy green.

From some refreshing green side dishes like Tangy Charred Coleslaw or meals where cabbage is front and center like salty and savory Whole Roasted Cabbage, these cabbage recipes are the perfect way to start incorporating more of this veggie into your diet. It doesn't matter whether you're craving some light and watery green cabbage or perfect-for-braising red cabbage, they both contain the same nutritional value. For some recipes that will have you rethinking what a cabbage-based meal can be, here are some of our favorite cabbage recipes.
