- Raw in Salads: Shredded or thinly sliced raw red cabbage adds a wonderful crunch and color to green salads, slaws, and other vegetable-based dishes.

- Roasted: Toss wedges or shredded red cabbage with oil, salt, and pepper and roast at high heat until tender and caramelized.
- Braised: Slowly braise red cabbage with vinegar, apples, onions, and seasonings for a sweet and sour preparation.
- Fermented into Sauerkraut: The natural sugars in red cabbage make it perfect for fermenting into a probiotic-rich sauerkraut.
- In Soups and Stews: Add shredded red cabbage to hearty vegetable soups, bean stews, or even chicken noodle soup.
- Pickled: Quick pickle red cabbage in a vinegar brine to enjoy as a condiment or topping.

Is Cabbage Low-FODMAP?
Yes, cabbage is considered a low FODMAP food.
The low FODMAP diet is a dietary approach that limits foods containing certain types of fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) which can cause digestive issues for some people, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Cabbage, both green and red varieties, is low in the FODMAP compounds that can trigger digestive distress, such as fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). This makes cabbage a safe option for people following a low FODMAP diet.
Some key points about cabbage and the low FODMAP diet:
- Green and red cabbage are both low FODMAP in servings up to 1 cup (75g) per meal.
- Savoy cabbage is also low FODMAP in the same serving size.
Fermented or pickled cabbage, like sauerkraut, is low FODMAP in servings up to 2 tablespoons (40g). - Cabbage is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and other beneficial plant compounds, making it a nutritious addition to a low FODMAP diet.
