Vegetables are characterized by providing various properties to the body, since they have a high content of vitamins such as A, C, E, minerals such as potassium and iron, but additionally they have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compounds, among others.

Meanwhile, he pointed out that “cabbage can be found in supermarkets or at fairs, since it is a fairly versatile vegetable, being able to be eaten in salads, stir-fried with vegetables and in preparations, such as cakes, juices, or soups, for example.”
For that reason, Mayo Clinic, non-profit entity dedicated to clinical practice, education and research, revealed a recipe with cabbage:
Braised Kale with Cherry Tomatoes Serves Six
- 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- 4 garlic cloves, cut into thin slices.
- 1 pound (450 g) kale, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped.
- 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half.
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the garlic and sauté until lightly browned, one to two minutes.
2. Stir in kale and vegetable broth.
3 .Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until kale is tender and some of the liquid has evaporated, about five minutes.
4. Stir in tomatoes and cook, uncovered, until kale is tender, 5 to 7 more minutes.
5. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, salt and pepper.
However, the Blog ASISA He pointed out that Kale has some contraindications, such as:
- “I don’t know recommends its consumption to those people who suffer from irritable colon due to its high fiber levels.
- If we are taking anticoagulants it is better that we avoid it because the vitamin K it contains can interfere with its effect.
- In the event that we have been diagnosed with thyroid, it should not be consumed because it can interfere with the functioning of this gland.
- Its high potassium content means that we must pay special attention not to exceed the recommended daily levels”.
In any case, before consuming any food, the first thing to do is consult the treating physician or a nutritionist, so that he or she is the one who guides the process and indicates what is most appropriate for each person, since the above recommendations are not those indicated for all people, since the information given above is in no way a substitute for medical advice.
