💜 Why We Love Red Cabbage 💜
Not only is red cabbage a feast for the eyes with its stunning purple hue, it’s also packed with health benefits — and we use it generously in two of our most-loved ferments:
💜 Cortido – A Latin-American inspired kraut with red & green cabbage, carrot, red onion, garlic, chilli, cumin & oregano. It’s bold, bright, and full of gut-loving goodness.
💜 Red Cabbage Kraut with Juniper, White Pepper & Wakame – A deep, earthy ferment with hints of the sea and subtle spice, loaded with antioxidants and probiotics.
Red cabbage is rich in:
– Anthocyanins (natural anti-inflammatories)
– Vitamin C for immune support
– Gut-friendly fibre
– Sulphur compounds that support detox pathways
Red cabbage sauerkraut is lower in FODMAPs compared to sauerkraut made from green cabbage and a spoonful is typically considered a safe low-FODMAP serving, which is great news for those healing their guts whilst eating a low FODMAP diet.
Add a spoonful to your meals for crunch, colour, and a hit of fermented goodness your gut will thank you for 💜
