With just four ingredients and set-it-and-forget-it instructions, these little foil-wrapped gifts are a great way to expand your cabbage repertoire beyond summer slaw and St. Patrick’s Day fare. Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. But wait, there’s more! It’s also chock-full of anthocyanins (found in red cabbage) and amino acids like glutamine that help lower the risk of cancers and decrease inflammation.
