White cabbage

Autumn is not only the time of fallen leaves, rain and melancholy. It is also the time when many healthy vegetables and fruits “ripen”. Pumpkin, apples and, of course, a real storehouse of vitamins – white cabbage. It is not for nothing that this “sorceress” ripens right now, in autumn. The fact is that at this time of year our body already begins to experience a lack of vitamins and it is because of this that we begin to feel melancholy and experience bouts of depression. And a menu of white cabbage will help to easily solve this problem.

Varieties of white cabbage

Due to the popularity of this product, breeders and farmers develop new varieties and hybrids almost every year. Each new variety or hybrid has its own taste qualities, as well as storage and growing conditions. Popular among farmers are varieties that tolerate long-term storage well and bring a good harvest in any weather conditions. The most popular varieties of white cabbage are Zarya, S-217 Yubileiny, Geneva. By the way, white cabbage can be early, mid-season and late-ripening. Depending on this, varieties are divided.

But hybrids of cabbage are still more popular, because their seedlings are more resistant to temperature changes, react better to dry weather or too rainy summer. As a result, the hybrid of white cabbage gives a higher yield, and is stored longer.

Mid-season varieties of cabbage are also popular. Among them, it is worth noting the Podarok variety. This variety is very high-yielding. This white cabbage has quite large round heads. This variety is universal. Another advantage of this cabbage is that the heads are stored for quite a long time. On average, from 4 to 6 months.

Early white cabbage

Everyone will agree that already at the beginning of spring you want to treat yourself to a new harvest of vegetables and fruits. But, unfortunately, such an opportunity is not always given to us. For this purpose, farmers and breeders develop early varieties of various products to please us with their taste as soon as possible.

Early white cabbage generally ripens in 52-55 days after planting the seedlings. This type of cabbage includes the hybrid Ixion F1. It produces a good harvest, and the cabbage itself has excellent taste qualities and is ideal for a variety of salads and other dishes.

An early cabbage hybrid called "Pandion" ripens in 45 to 50 days. However, it is recommended to grow it in greenhouses, as it is quite demanding in terms of temperature and humidity.

Other varieties and hybrids of early white cabbage take a little longer to ripen. On average, it is 60-80 days. Farmers speak especially positively about such hybrids as "Iyunskaya" and "Podarok". They also ripen quickly and are resistant to adverse weather conditions.

Late white cabbage

Late cabbage varieties and hybrids require special attention. The fact is that these varieties of white cabbage are used for pickling, as well as for long-term storage. But here, too, you need to be able to choose the right variety. Since some hybrids can be stored perfectly, but are absolutely not suitable for making sauerkraut.

It is better to prepare a place for late varieties of cabbage in the fall, fertilize it thoroughly and dig it up. By the way, almost all late varieties of white cabbage give a good harvest if potatoes or carrots were grown in the garden bed before.

The most popular late varieties and hybrids of late white cabbage are "Moscow late", "Zimovka", "Akvilon" and "Kolobok".

Late varieties of white cabbage have a more rounded shape than early varieties. Also, such white cabbage is denser and juicier.

By the way, if you choose the right variety of white cabbage and also follow the storage rules, it can easily lie there and not lose its taste even until the next harvest.

White cabbage is so rich in useful minerals and substances that even after its preparation the vitamins do not disappear, but remain in the cabbage dish.

By the way, pickled white cabbage is also suitable for stewing; it turns out a bit sour, but it is also very tasty.

By the way, cabbage juice is used not only internally, but also externally. The fact is that cabbage leaves have long been applied to various wounds and burns. But the leaves need to be changed often, since their cuts dry out quite quickly, but if you treat the wound with cabbage juice, the effect will be visible in a few hours.

Some experts recommend mixing cabbage juice with other freshly squeezed vegetable juices to enhance their beneficial properties.

Caloric content of white cabbage

White cabbage contains a lot of useful minerals and substances, but its caloric content is practically zero. This is one of the reasons why cabbage is a component of many diets.

100 g of white cabbage contains about 27 calories. Such small indicators make cabbage a simply miraculous product and the best assistant for those who are looking for an ideal figure.

Vitamins in white cabbage

White cabbage is very rich in vitamin C. It is the product that has the most of it. Experts claim that its amount significantly exceeds the content of vitamin C in such products as oranges or lemons. That is why it is worth adding cabbage to your diet during the cold season.

White cabbage also contains a lot of folic acid, the so-called vitamin B19. Without this vitamin, the immune and circulatory systems are "not in the best condition."

White cabbage is also rich in other B vitamins: B1, B2, B6. Although cabbage does not contain much vitamin A, it should not be discounted either, since cabbage takes a long time to digest, and vitamins are thus absorbed better.

PP vitamin or nicotinic acid is also vital for the normal functioning of our body. In 100 g of cabbage the content of nicotinic acid is about 0.4%.

But vitamin B1, or as it is also called – thiamine, has a very good effect on the nervous system and even has a calming effect. Therefore, cabbage and dishes made from it are simply necessary in the fall, when our body is especially susceptible to stress.

Chemical composition of white cabbage

White cabbage has a very rich chemical composition. What is surprising is that 100 g of white cabbage contains about 90 g of water. By the way, this is another reason why white cabbage has such a low calorie content and is so useful for a diet.

Proteins in 100 g - 1.8 g, carbohydrates - about 5 g, and fats only 0.1 g. The chemical composition of this product also includes mono- and disaccharides. There are about 4.6 g of them in 100 g of cabbage. In addition to vitamins, macroelements and microelements, cabbage also contains starch (about 0.1 g), dietary fiber (2 g) and organic acids (about 0.3 g). Do not forget that cabbage also contains about 1 g of ash.

Particular attention should be paid to the presence of methionine in the chemical composition of this product. The fact is that this amino acid is not produced in the human body, but is very important for normal life. It is also used in the treatment of ulcers, since it helps to heal the affected areas of the gastric mucosa.

Harm of white cabbage

In essence, white cabbage does not harm a healthy organism. However, in some diseases, the use of this product is contraindicated. Also, with various cabbage diets, or rather with the abuse of such diets, weakness and darkening of the eyes, pre-fainting conditions may occur.

Also, when consuming a huge amount of this vegetable, "side effects" are possible. Thus, it is fraught with bloating and even bouts of nausea. Also, if cabbage is not chewed well, heaviness in the stomach is possible.

Since white cabbage stimulates the secretion of gastric glands, its use is contraindicated in some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Such diseases include increased acidity, colitis and regular stomach upset. Also, you should not eat cabbage in diseases of the pancreas and liver. In particular, in pancreatitis.

Doctors also do not recommend eating cabbage when various diseases are in the acute stage. Since during remission or the onset of a disease, white cabbage can help cope with the disease and improve the body's condition, then during an exacerbation, cabbage, on the contrary, can worsen the development of the disease.

Medicinal properties of white cabbage

Cough treatment: thanks to vitamin C and other beneficial microelements, cabbage juice can have a positive effect on the respiratory tract, free the bronchi from fluid and has an expectorant effect.

Mastitis Treatment: Cabbage pulp helps the body cope with mastitis, soothes the skin and relieves symptoms.

Treatment of ulcer disease: white cabbage copes well with ulcer of the duodenum. Only such treatment can cause minor inconveniences - it increases the formation of gases in the body.

Treatment of the spleen: the mineral composition of white cabbage allows it to be used in the treatment of the spleen. Cabbage juice is recommended to be drunk before eating.

White cabbage also has other medicinal properties. Cabbage leaves relieve pain and are an excellent wound healing agent.

Because cabbage contains many vitamins, it is recommended as an excellent preventive measure against vitamin deficiency. And the high content of vitamin C allows cabbage to be used in the treatment of scurvy.

White cabbage for pancreatitis

Of course, white cabbage is very useful for many diseases, but some diseases react very "sharply" to the use of cabbage. Therefore, doctors often prohibit cabbage during exacerbation of ulcers, and especially with pancreatitis.

The pancreas is very demanding and if there are problems with it, then there is no choice. The fact is that in pancreatitis, a special diet is usually made and you cannot deviate from it.

This diet excludes many fresh vegetables, including white cabbage. However, you can exclude it not completely. The fact is that it is very heavy for the body to digest and this puts additional strain on the pancreas. But some doctors allow eating white cabbage stewed or boiled. However, you should not abuse it, and it is better to abstain from it altogether.

But pickled and fresh white cabbage are strictly contraindicated for pancreatitis, as they irritate the mucous membrane.

In folk medicine, cabbage juice is sometimes used to treat pancreatitis. But don't tempt fate, it's better to consult a doctor.

White cabbage for weight loss

Everyone has their own ideal figure. But in pursuit of their ideals, girls are ready to do anything. Some starve, which seriously undermines their health, others eat only water and products of a certain color. All this is very difficult to endure and therefore not everyone can endure a diet for more than a few weeks.

But few people know that you can lose weight without much effort. The main thing is to know about the right products that will help you get rid of those hated extra pounds, as well as lead an active lifestyle, and give up bad habits, in particular alcohol.

One of the miraculous helpers in losing weight is white cabbage. The first reason why white cabbage is one of the first products that helps girls maintain a slim waist is that it has very few calories. 300 grams of cabbage have only 60 calories. Therefore, a light cabbage salad will not only saturate, provide vitamins, but also will not affect the waist in any way.

In addition, our body will need much more strength and energy to process such a salad than it gets from eating cabbage. That is why various diets based on white cabbage practically do not limit its consumption.

Many nutritionists are sure that with the help of white cabbage you can lose about 10 kg per month. Cabbage-based diets can be very diverse. Some include only fresh cabbage, some help you lose weight with the help of sauerkraut or cabbage juice, and some even allow you to eat cabbage soup.

The traditional cabbage diet is very simple. In the morning, you can start with hot natural coffee, but exclude sugar. At lunch, you can treat yourself to a hearty cabbage salad. The salad can be dressed with olive or vegetable oil. The main thing is not to overdo it with the dressing, the oil should be in moderation - about one spoon.

But for dinner you can treat yourself to a small amount of boiled meat or fish. Or, if you want to achieve quick results, instead of meat in the evening you can drink a glass of kefir.

Cabbage soup will perfectly unload your diet and help you lose weight. It can be prepared according to any recipe, but there are several conditions. Firstly, the soup should be exclusively vegetable and contain a minimum of salt. Secondly, it can be supplemented with any other ingredients that also contribute to weight loss, for example, celery.

By the way, sauerkraut has even fewer calories. Therefore, such a diet will help you lose weight even faster. However, you should not stick to such a diet for a very long time. White cabbage is still very heavy for the stomach. And people who have stomach problems should avoid such diets altogether. Also, if you eat only cabbage for a very long time, the body begins to lose nutrients and instead of the desired weight loss, fatigue, weakness and even deterioration of health come. Therefore, you should not resort to this method of losing weight for longer than seven days.

White cabbage for babies

Feeding a child tasty, and most importantly, healthy food is not an easy task. And with infants, the situation is even worse. Any vegetables, fruits or dishes should be introduced into their diet very carefully and in minimal doses.

White cabbage can be a good complementary food for a baby. But many experts warn that due to such a feature of cabbage as increased gas formation, babies may experience colic in the abdomen and other problems. Therefore, it is better to introduce cabbage into the diet of infants closer to a year, not earlier than at seven months of age.

Cabbage should be boiled in water before giving to babies. You should not give a child a huge portion of cabbage at once. Such a product is quite heavy, and the child's gastrointestinal system is not yet accustomed to such loads. But you can't refuse cabbage, because it is very nutritious and contains many useful vitamins.

But there are also warnings for parents. The thing is that if the baby has problems with the tummy, colic or other troubles, it is better to give up white cabbage for a while.

White cabbage during breastfeeding

Having a baby is a very important decision in your life. And it requires serious steps. During pregnancy, as well as after childbirth, during breastfeeding, you should carefully monitor your diet, excluding many products from it. Many young mothers are interested in whether it is possible to eat white cabbage during breastfeeding.

The thing is that cabbage provokes "gases", which scares young mothers. But pediatricians assure that white cabbage is safe for babies. It should be introduced into the diet no earlier than three to four weeks after birth.

Stewed cabbage, soups and casseroles are suitable for consumption. But during breastfeeding, it is better to refuse pickled white cabbage and its consumption in raw form. Although this product enters the child's body through mother's milk, and it cannot cause much harm to the baby, it is still better to be on the safe side.

After eating cabbage, you should pay attention to the baby’s reaction after feeding.

Why do you dream about white cabbage?

Almost all dream books interpret dreams about white cabbage differently. There is no single interpretation of dreams about cabbage.

Some dream books claim that white cabbage dreams of bad news and even troubles. Cabbage harvesting can indicate your extravagance. Therefore, if you dreamed that you were harvesting cabbage, carefully analyze your planned purchases and weigh all the pros and cons.

But if the cabbage in your dream is not yet ripe, you should take a closer look at your other half. Green cabbage in dreams may indicate that your other half is looking "to the left."

Some dream books interpret a dream in which you eat cabbage in completely different ways. Some claim that it means good luck, a successful deal, or simply profit. Also, after such a dream, you can receive an unexpected gift. And other interpreters are sure that such a dream does not bode well and predict illnesses of loved ones and significant financial losses.

Almost all dream books agree on one thing - it is good if in a dream you see white cabbage, which is only growing. This indicates that in the near future tempting prospects will open up before you.

By the way, few dream interpreters associate white cabbage and pregnancy. But there is such an interpretation of a dream about cabbage.

Storing white cabbage

Since ancient times, only late varieties of white cabbage have been stored. Before choosing cabbage for storage, check the condition of the head. It should be elastic, and the leaves should fit tightly to the head. Also, there should be no defects, rot or dirt on the head.

By the way, for storage, it is better to collect white cabbage when it is already fully ripe, but has not yet begun to spoil. If you collect unripe heads, white cabbage will be stored worse. This can lead to wilting and a bad "marketable appearance" and taste. Also, do not wait until the heads are overripe, since such cabbage will be stored less, the heads can crack, which will also have a bad effect on the taste of the vegetable. By the way, the harvest itself should be done in dry weather, otherwise dampness can play a cruel joke on the cabbage and it will quickly rot.

White cabbage is stored very well and if you choose the right cabbage variety for storage and follow all storage rules, you can keep it in good condition for four to six months.

White cabbage can be stored both in boxes and in bulk. But in both cases, it is necessary to ensure good air circulation around the product. Many consider hanging heads of cabbage from the ceiling in nets to be one of the best ways to store white cabbage. Do not allow the air temperature in the room to drop below zero. The most optimal temperature is considered to be from one degree Celsius to zero.

Some housewives advise to put straw or other material that absorbs moisture well under the cabbage. When the material is saturated with moisture, it needs to be changed. In this way, white cabbage will remain free of rot and damage for much longer.

White cabbage is a real gift of autumn for our body. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, which are simply necessary for our body.
