Cabbage is an often-overlooked nutrition powerhouse coming from the same plant family as broccoli, kale and cauliflower. Cruciferous vegetables contain antioxidants that are known to help reduce chronic inflammation. Our cool Wisconsin climate is perfect for growing this vegetable, and we find it growing locally in our farmers’ fields.
