Purple cabbage or red cabbage as some call it is one of the most colourful vegetables I have ever seen. Even when it’s cooked it doesn’t lose its colour. Purple cabbage as so many benefits and can be eaten raw, boiled or blended into smoothie or a juice. There is certainly a method for everyone to experience and include purple cabbage into their diet.

On the menu today is a very simple vegan meal: Purple cabbage and soya mince wrap. If you are not a fan of Soya mince you can swap it for mixed vegetables or even certain grains such as couscous or quinoa. This is a very simple and quick meal and does not require you to be in the kitchen for so long.
