Eat Chinese cabbage in autumn and winter. Which part of Chinese cabbage has the highest nutrition?

Chinese cabbage is the most popular vegetable in autumn and winter. I still remember when I was a child, I would hoard dozens of pounds of cabbage from house to house for the winter. Although Chinese cabbage can be eaten all year round now, it is the most delicious in autumn and winter. Sweet and crisp, stewed and fried are delicious. In the past, when a pot of Chinese cabbage was stewed at home, parents always picked the cabbage to help them eat, and left the delicious leaves and hearts to their children. In the eyes of adults, these parts are both delicious and most nutritious. Is that really the case?

Which is more nutritious, cabbage leaves, cabbage hearts and cabbage sticks? In fact, the really nutritious part is the leaves of Chinese cabbage, which is the most concentrated part of vitamins and minerals. Cabbage is delicious because it is wrapped in the innermost part and can't see the light. Therefore, chlorophyll, cellulose and other substances cannot be produced, and the nutritional value is not higher than that of Chinese cabbage leaves. Finally, let me talk about the cabbage gang. Cabbage gang is not worthless. They have the richest water content and the highest dietary fiber content. They are suitable for people with constipation.

As the saying goes, a hundred dishes are not as good as cabbage. Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C. Regular consumption can delay aging, reduce the formation of pigmentation and improve the body's resistance. The content of dietary fiber in Chinese cabbage is the highest, followed by Chinese cabbage leaves and flowering Chinese cabbage. In autumn and winter, when the weather is dry, eating too much meat is easy to get angry. When the elderly or children are constipated, eating cabbage can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and has the effect of moistening the intestines and relaxing the bowels.

Chinese cabbage is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium. Regular consumption helps to resist the pressor effect of sodium to a certain extent and help to lower blood pressure. At the same time, dietary fiber can also help delay the rise of postprandial blood sugar, which is also very beneficial to diabetic patients. Chinese cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which contains special phytochemicals isothiocyanate and indole, and has been proved to have anticancer and antioxidant effects.
