Is cabbage good for diabetes

Cabbage has been enjoyed across the world for centuries. It is believed that they grew wild until they were domesticated in Europe over 3000 years ago. The cabbage’s thick leaves retain water, which probably helped them survive in cold climes with less water.

In the East, cabbages have been a staple even longer, having been cultivated since 4000 BC in North China. The Greeks loved their cabbage, and the Romans considered them a bit of a luxury item. Ancient physicians also knew about the cabbage’s medical properties. Roman healers used it to treat gout, and headaches. Cabbages were also used on long sea voyages, to prevent scurvy, which is caused by lack of Vitamin C, of which cabbage has plenty.

Cabbage were brought to India by Portuguese traders, and they have flourished here ever since, adding crunch and flavor to a variety of dishes, from salads to pickles to cooked vegetable, broths, and, the ever-popular coleslaw.
