What and how to cook cabbage, maximally preserving its valuable properties?

In a recent study, only raw and bystroprokhodaschee cabbage vegetables showed the presence of components necessary for maintaining healthful cabbage potential.

When cutting, chopping cabbage formed anti-cancer agents — glucosinolate, but prolonged heat treatment kills enzymes (myrosinase) that is required for their formation. For this reason, the ideal is the consumption of cabbage in its raw form, followed by steaming no more than 6-7 minutes, or a quick grilling it on the pan. Bake in the microwave for only 2 minutes can kill the same amount of myrosinase enzymes as 7 minutes of roasting. Draw your own conclusions.





These methods of cooking are the best and in order to preserve other medicinal properties of cabbage to lower cholesterol in the blood.
