Red cabbage from our farm in southern California.

Red cabbage is a type of cabbage that is characterized by its dark red color and round shape. It has a slightly sweeter and more mild flavor than green cabbage, and a crunchy texture. Red cabbage is a good source of vitamins C and K, as well as fiber, antioxidants, and other minerals.

Red cabbage is commonly used in coleslaws, salads, and sautéed dishes, as well as being pickled and served as a condiment or side dish. It can also be roasted or braised, and is often used in soups and stews.

The deep red color of red cabbage comes from the presence of anthocyanins, which are plant pigments with antioxidant properties. When cooked, red cabbage will turn blue or purple if the pH is basic, and green if the pH is acidic. This makes red cabbage a useful ingredient in natural dyeing, and it has been used for centuries to add color to dishes, as well as for its flavor and nutritional benefits.
