Have Cabbage, will Profit

In the language of flowers, from the Victorian-era, the cabbage means "profit." {So grow plenty :)} It is a biennial flowering plant eaten as a leafy green vegetable. Cabbage is used for German sauerkraut, Chinese suan cai, and Korean kimchi. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C and contains amounts of glutamine, an amino acid with anti-inflammatory properties. The Europeans use the leaves to make a raw paste to treat acute inflammation which is placed in another leaf and wrapped around the infected area to ease the pain. Also there are claims that it's effective in relieving painfully engorged breasts in women who breast feed. But the cabbage juice has proven to be effective for promoting the rapid healing of peptic ulcers. Some cabbage varieties is the colewort, oxheart, Savoy, Late Flat Dutch, Early Jersey Wakefield, Danish Ballhead and of course red cabbage. China is the leader in producing cabbages followed by India and the Russian Federation.
