Notes
Enjoy Savoy cabbage from the cruciferous vegetable group 4-5 times per week and benefit from some special cholesterol-lowering effect if you cook it by steaming. Savoy cabbage, in particular, is an especially good source of sinigrin which is transformed in our body and creates unique cancer preventive properties against bladder cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.
