Benefits of Purple Cabbage: Anti-Inflammatory
The rich, deep, purple of this beautiful cabbage is due to anthocyanin polyphenols. This is a fancy word for super-antioxidants, with strong anti-inflammatory properties. This cabbage is mild in flavor and sturdy enough for a beautiful wrap. Skipping the processed grain and replacing it with this super-food is a small change with a large impact. Top this beautiful cabbage with flavorful protein, roasted black beans, and a handful of colorful veggies, for a feast. Spread out whatever toppings you have on hand and let your family members feast! Not only will your eyes be happy, but your bellies will be satisfied!
**NOTE: Ras El Hanout is a North African spice blend, typically used in Moroccan dishes. Its name translates to “head of the shop” and typically refers to the best spice blend that the shop has to offer. This organic spice blend contains coriander, turmeric, cardamom, sea salt, black pepper, clove, cinnamon, garlic and nutmeg.
