Cabbage

Let’s start with a surprising fact about the leafy member of the brassica family.
Did you know that a cabbage is actually richer in vitamin C than oranges?
Vitamin C is an essential winter vitamin that will boost your immunity because it acts as an antioxidant.
And since it is the time of the year that we’re all sniffing and sneezing we present you a soothing winter soup recipe …

Cabbage soup au gratin

For this must-try recipe we recommend a flat white cabbage like ‘Green Rich’, which is sweeter compared to other cabbages.

Rogier’s twists

Account & Product Manager Vegetables Rogier is a true “foodie”.
His personal twists for this dish:
“For that extra ‘bite’ try adding Enoki and Buna mushrooms. Especially the Buna Shimeji is famous for its firm texture, nutty flavour and Umami taste. For ‘meat lovers’ I suggest to add thinly sliced pork ribs that are slowly grilled on the BBQ!.”
