Fibre

[Snoopygrl]

I thought cabbage was a fibrous veg.
I'm looking at my bag of slaw mix and it only has 1g of fibre/ serving.
I thought it would have more

Is cabbage the only ingredient?

Ftr, nutritional labels are frequently off by enormous amounts.

One cup raw cabbage, but one cup cooked is about 4-5x that.

1 serving of cooked cabbage which is about 1/2cup - has about 1.5 grams of fiber.. and 17 calories - so you get a lot if fiber for your calories...

Yeah and some carrots but i pick those out coz i don't like them. So red cabbage and regular stuff

[Snoopygrl]

I just eat it raw, from those slaw packages without the mayo and such.
I don't cook it.

same concept though -

calories are low
fiber is high compared to the calories

so you get a lot of fiber bang (no fart joke intended) for your calorie buck

1 cup of cabbage contains 4.20 grams of fiber. Our body needs 30-40 grams of fiber everyday for optimum health.

Hi, i think that your right and fiber food is really good for health. Carrots and cabbage is good combination for fiber.

All cabbage has some dietary fiber food: insoluble cellulose and lignin in the ribs and structure of the leaves. Depending on the variety, it has a little vitamin A, moderate amounts of the B vitamin folate and vitamin C.
