How Nutritious Is Raw Cabbage?Despite looking a lot like lettuce, cabbage is actually a member of the Brassica genus of vegetables, along with broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts.

There are several varieties, which can come in different colors including purple, red, white, and green. The leaf shapes can also differ as some are smooth while others, like savoy are crinkly.
And while it isn’t as trendy as kale or cauliflower, it is surprisingly nutritious.
Nutritional CompositionAs with many other cruciferous vegetables, this one is low in calories, yet high in many important vitamins and minerals.
For example, 1 cup of raw cabbage provides approximately:
22 calories 2 grams of fiber 85% of the recommended daily value (DV) for vitamin K 54% of the DV for vitamin CVitamin K is important as it plays a role in bone health and helps with blood clotting.
Vitamin C works to keep your immune system strong and supports the growth of bone, collagen, and other important tissues. It’s also needed for the body to be able to absorb iron.
It is a good source of folate and vitamin B6 as well, both of which are needed for energy metabolism and nervous system functioning.
It’s also rich in minerals – potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Not too shabby for just 22 calories.
And we can’t forget about fiber. Cabbage is high in both insoluble and soluble fibers.
While both are important for our health, they have different roles:
Soluble fiber supports healthy gut bacteria and heart health, and slows digestion. Insoluble fiber keeps the digestive system running smoothly and regularly, and can help to prevent or treat constipation.Here are some Genius Strawberry Growing Hacks that you can use to ensure fresh and a bagful harvest from your plants!
Buy potted strawberry plants of day-neutral varieties. Day-neutral varieties grow year long if right condition and protection from winter is provided. They don’t spread, produce less runners and small fruits that’s why this type of strawberry is better for both hanging basket and upside down planter.
Got plant milk? That may not be the official campaign slogan of the plant milk industry, but it could be, given that plant milks are having their time in the spotlight. They’ve become so popular that they’ve even outpaced the sales of dairy milk.

Gloves are always of interest to gardeners – I have an enormous collection, many of which have holes in the fingers, so I think it is time to cull the less than perfect and invest in a few more. I came back from the show with a pair of MechanixWear womens’ leather-palmed gloves (£22) which are soft, comfortable and washable as well as extremely tough. The sizing is on the small side though so it’s best to buy larger than normal. Burgon & Ball always have innovative displays on their stand – their Love the Glove range (from £12.95) were displayed under glass domes. These gloves are ultra-soft but hardwearing, have padded palm and a wrist strap to keep debris out. www.burgonandball.com Sneeboer, makers of fine garden tools have had fun with one of their garden spades that they have fashioned into a stool – it’s not for sale, but I best they get lots of enquiries about it – so who knows, in the future it may be added to the range. Just the sort of thing the hipsters love! Trugs come in every shape and size and the Trugmake
In my earlier post about Sir Paul Smith, I wrote about the role of green as the anchor that holds everything in place in a garden – so it’s unsurprising that the greenness was what I noticed as I looked at some of the drawings of this year’s Chelsea gardens. No doubt, when we get to Chelsea our eyes will seek out the excitement, and the actual gardens will be further enlivened by shape, texture and the play of light, but it is useful to see the contribution that green makes to each of the gardens and bear it in mind for the planting in our own garden.

The Chelsea Flower Show
I don’t think it was just the flat light, grey skies and chilly temperatures that gave the show quite a subdued feel. Of course, it was not helped by our never-arriving spring that has left many of the show gardens with flowers on the point of unfurling, but seemingly as reluctant to open as I was to remove any of the several layers of clothing I was wearing on Press Day.
