red cabbage
Magenta leafy vegetable
Red cabbage is a variety of cabbage with deep purple-red leaves, used in salads, slaws, and cooked dishes.
The color comes from pigments that change with acidity—turning pink in acidic conditions, blue or green in alkaline ones.
Red cabbage braised with apples is a classic German preparation.
