Have you ever considered having cabbage for breakfast? It is probably not on your list of favorite breakfast foods. However, cabbage is a versatile vegetable that can be easily included in any diet. Available at the grocery store and farmers’ markets year-round, don’t be afraid to add this tasty and inexpensive food to any meal including breakfast!
Cabbage is a low-calorie food rich in vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, and K. This vegetable also contains valuable amounts of fiber needed for a healthy digestive system. Cabbage is often talked about as a super-food because of its many health benefits. Eating cabbage for breakfast is a nutritious way to get the day started.
Begin by using cabbage in simple breakfast recipes, as “Cabbage and Eggs”. This vegetable goes well with eggs in any form. Follow an easy stir-fry recipe, Cabbage Stir-Fry, or use your favorite cabbage and vegetable combination. Add 1 or 2 beaten eggs to the cooked vegetables. Stir your eggs with the vegetables until the eggs are firm. Add flavorings as garlic, dill, or soy sauce that pair well with both eggs and cabbage for a tasty breakfast dish.
“Eggs and Cabbage Hash” can be easily made by cooking ½ head of shredded cabbage or a favorite cabbage/vegetable combination with a little oil in an oven safe skillet. When your vegetable mixture is soft, make little nests in the top of the mixture. Crack and add 4 eggs to the nests. Put your skillet in the oven and bake until eggs are firmly cooked. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Try an easy “Cabbage Breakfast Burrito”. Remove the large beautiful outer leaves from a head of cabbage, wash and cook them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Remove them and fill with cooked scrambled eggs, onions, tomatoes, avocado, cheese or other favorite fillings. Fold the sides of the leaves in first, then roll them up like a burrito. Enjoy!
Cabbage can also be an ingredient in “Breakfast Smoothies” made with berries and fruit juices. Try substituting this vegetable for other greens in your recipes.
