Why it’s delicious

Let's consider the purple cabbage and how delicious it is. Sweet and tender, the brilliant colour that sets itself apart from the common green or white cabbage is actually great for our bodies too. Naturally higher in Vitamin C than the white variety, the antioxidants that give this cabbage its vibrant colour is also responsible for helping our body hormones metabolise fat while at the same time suppressing our appetite. Win win for the purple cabbage stir fry!
