Canned cabbage

Cabbage is rightfully considered a very useful vegetable, and in any form. But according to some dietetics experts, sauerkraut or salted cabbage is the most useful, as it contains much more ascorbic acid than fresh. Well, talk about the excellent taste of canned cabbage. It is incredibly appetising and delicious with hot potatoes, and as the basis for vinaigrettes and salads, like a dressing for hearty cabbage soup.

For a long time, canned cabbage was made using salting and sauerkraut in huge barrels. Meanwhile, the appearance of glass cans with metal lids gave the opportunity to harvest cabbage using a variety of methods. And this is not only sauerkraut, salted or pickled cabbage, but also a variety of salads, snack rolls with vegetables and a lot of other interesting recipes.

Among them can be distinguished canned cabbage salted in Gurian, winter salad, canned cabbage red with plums, canned cabbage with tomatoes and sweet pepper. In addition, unusually tasty and extraordinary in appearance, canned cabbage is obtained in honey pour or in beetroot juice.

It is worth noting that options for preparing canned cabbage are not limited only to methods of its preparation, but also depend on the choice of the type and variety of this vegetable. For example, mini cabbage coats of Brussels sprouts, rolled up in small jars of transparent glass, look original. And if you add to them some other mini-vegetables, for example, mini carrots or pearl onions, you get a truly buffet dish that is not ashamed to serve even for the celebration.

In addition to excellent taste, the benefits of canned cabbage, especially sauerkraut, are also known. Firstly, if you eat such cabbage regularly, not only does immunity increase due to increased stress resistance of the body, but also the activation of metabolism occurs. In addition, special substances in canned cabbage can stimulate the production of hemoglobin and rejuvenate the tissues of the human body.

It should be said that according to some medical studies, the benefit of canned cabbage with sauerkraut (to be more precise - chemical compounds in its composition) lies even in the ability to somewhat slow down the development of cancer cells.

However, a large list of the beneficial properties of canned cabbage slightly darkens the likely harm of eating this product for certain groups of people. So, it is not recommended to include canned cabbage in your diet for people who have increased acidity of gastric juice, as well as those suffering from hypertension.
