Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin B6. It is also a very good source of manganese, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B1, folate and copper. Additionally, cabbage is a good source of choline, phosphorus, vitamin B2, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, pantothenic acid, protein and niacin.
One cup of raw shredded cabbage contains 25.6 milligrams of vitamin C, which is around 30 percent of the daily recommended value of 75 milligrams for women and roughly 28 percent of the 90 milligrams for men. Vitamin C cannot be made by the body and is therefore an important dietary component.
