Purple cabbage is not as popular among consumers as its green relative. Most likely, this is due to a lack of knowledge about the vegetable.
But by spring it retains a huge amount of vitamins, contains many times more carotene and vitamin C (compared to traditional cabbage).

The greatest benefit from purple cabbage can be obtained by eating it fresh.
Be sure to add such cabbage to your diet for variety and balanced nutrition.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
