Cabbage Salad/Sauerkraut

It’s another Tuesday and here’s another quick raw food recipe to add to your day.

What you’ll need:

1/2 cabbage head

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup dalandan/lime juice

1/4 cup basil, chiffonade

5 cloves garlic

Mix all the ingredients and massage until juice comes out of the cabbage.  Serve immediately for a Cabbage Salad.  Or place in a glass jar and let sit for 1 to 4 days to ferment then refrigerate and you have sauerkraut!

Here are some of the health benefits of sauerkraut and eating raw cabbage:

• It helps with digestion and helps heal damage to digestive tract.
• It improves bowel health and improves immunity.
• With proper balance of good bacteria and enough digestive enzymes, the body is able to absorb more nutrients from the food that you eat.
• Studies say that raw cabbage is good for cancer prevention.  Cooking damages some cancer preventive properties.

Have a fun Raw Food Tuesday!
