RECIPE FROM THE GEMÜSEBOX WITH RED CABBAGE AND POTATO RÖSTI

In our winter recipe from the vegetable box, we have devoted this week to the classic red cabbage.

Anthocyanins not only give red cabbage its blue color, they are also the wonder weapon of this winter vegetable. The plant dyes have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. The antioxidant effect of anthocyanins is like an anti-aging remedy for firm skin and has a positive effect on the health of heart and memory. Besides anthocyanins, red cabbage also contains many antioxidants that protect our body from free radicals and thus from malignant cell changes. Red cabbage is a true vitamin bomb and contains a high proportion of iron and calcium in addition to a lot of vitamin C and especially vitamin K. The mustard oils (glucosinolates) contained in red cabbage belong to the secondary plant substances and can help fight infections. This is what makes red cabbage so valuable for us, especially in the cold season. Of course, it also tastes simply really delicious. In combination with a crispy potato rösti, it is a simple, but all the more delicious meal that you can easily recook. You will find everything you need in our assortment. Either in the Gemüsebox subscription, in our farm store in Berlin Herzberge or at our market in Rummelsburg, which takes place every Friday from 12 pm – 6 pm.
