Cabbage recipes


Do you really have time to browse through hundreds of cabbage recipes provided by major recipes websites? Did you know that in many North American cabbage recipes the health benefits of cabbage are negated by the addition of heavy amounts of fat?

How about a short list of the best easy and healthy cabbage recipes, both traditional and modified, created by someone with 20 years of experience in cooking cabbage? I grew up enjoying Russian and Ukrainian cousine, a staple food of which is cabbage, and I consider myself just as experienced in cooking it as the Japanese in making their sushi.

Here you will find traditional Russian and Ukrainian healthy recipes using cabbage, such as pickled white and red cabbage, Russian style cabbage soup, and Ukrainian borscht. I post only the most healthy and easy cabbage recipes with no meat: vegan, vegetarian, and the ones that I have "veganized" from the original ones. So if you need fast vegetarian recipes using cabbage, you are in the right place.

Why use recipes for cabbage?

Cabbage is a cheap healthy food that made it to the top healthy food list. Cabbage protects from cancer, assists with losing weight and provides diverse nutrition that no animal protein-based food can provide. Too bad there no special board in the North America to promote cabbage. I have to take this issue into my own hands.

Cabbage is wildly popular in Germany (kraut), Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. In these countries, it is called "kapusta". Kapusta, or cabbage, recipes are treasured in every family, exchanged with friends, and remembered by heart. Using a lot of cabbage plays an important role in disease prevention. For example, studies conclude that Polish women, raised on the traditional Polish diet, have significantly lower breast cancer rates than Polish women eating the North American diet; and Polish men have lower mortality rates of lung cancer than their North American counterparts, despite their heavy smoking habits.
