Red Cabbage Seed Healing Power
-
Not only the red cabbage plant is medicinal; its seeds are also medicinal. A Chinese research team released a study in September 2011 showing that red oilseed rape has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. The best known fungus to combat it is candida albicans. Other fungi it fights are: Mycosphaerella arachidicola, Setospaeria turcica and Bipolaris maydis. It is mainly the proteins that keep out fungi. It also fights the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, red oilseed rape has anti-cancer activity in head and neck cancer and liver cancer. These cancer cells are also fought with the protein from red cabbage seeds. In this regard, it is worth noting that Brian Peskin, who in his book "The Untold Story of Cancer", lists hundreds of studies on cancer, shows that proteins play an important role in fighting cancer. Peskin advises anyone with cancer to eat mostly protein and to avoid all sugary foods. Peskin's vision is consistent with the findings of the Chinese researchers.
Pickled red cabbage is also healthy
-
Raw and vinegar pickled red cabbage have more flavonoids than cooked red cabbage. Cooked red cabbage contains very little cyanidin, which is common in raw and pickled red cabbage. Other flavonoids in red cabbage are apigenin, quercetin and kaempferol. It is striking that the vitamin C content can vary enormously. Some samples contain twelve times as much vitamin C as other samples, according to a study carried out in 2004 at Cornell University in the United States.
