What is this food?
Boiled green cabbage (about 100g). It’s a leafy vegetable, low in calories and naturally light on fat and sodium.
Why it matters to health
Green cabbage is a good fiber source (1.5g per 100g), which helps keep you full and supports healthy digestion. It’s also low in calories (23 kcal) and very low in fat and cholesterol, making it a great add-on to meals. It has some carbohydrates and natural sugar (5g carbs, 2.3g sugar), but the fiber helps balance it. Sodium is very low (6mg), so it’s a good choice when you’re building meals that don’t rely on salty sauces.
Healthier tips
- Use cabbage as your volume vegetable: add it to viands, soups, or stir-fries to help you feel satisfied with fewer calories.
- Pair it with protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and carbs in proper portions (rice or root crops) for balanced meals.
- For snacks, you can have a small serving of cabbage-based soup or side salad with a protein (e.g., boiled egg or tofu) instead of salty snacks.
- Keep seasonings light: since cabbage is naturally low in sodium, go easy on bagoong, patis, and salty sauces.
