I love the idea of "produce prescriptions" 💚🥒🥬🥑🥝

i love making *rainbow salads* and red cabbage is often part of them - try it, it will like you! 🌈💜

Red cabbage may be two superfoods in one. It has all the cancer-fighting indole-carbinol and isothiocyanates of green cabbage, but it also has an incredible 470% more antioxidants thanks to its red coloring. Red gets it color from the same compounds—anthocyanins—that make blueberries blue, and it has 29% more! Besides being powerful , anthocyanins are also potent cancer fighters. Recent meta-analyses have shown that people eating diets rich in anthocyanin had 22% lower risk of colorectal and significantly lower risk of death by heart disease. So the next time you’re at the grocery store, why not opt for red cabbage rather than green?

(here's my grandma Thelma---she always tossed a little salad for supper! And she lived to age 97.)
