From a nutritional point of view, Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and antioxidants, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help digestion. Moreover, the vitamin C content of Chinese cabbage is higher than that of apples and pears, at the same level as that of citrus, and the calories are much lower.
Compendium of Materia Medica in Qing Dynasty recorded that "chinese cabbage juice is sweet, non-toxic, beneficial to the stomach, relieving chest distress, quenching thirst and hangover, and relieving cough", and said that "winter juice is especially good".

Edible attention

Cabbage is easy to preserve and affordable, and can be used with most dishes. It is a veritable "civilian dish" and "wild vegetable". Even if Chinese cabbage is as good as 1000, the content of chlorophyll and other nutrients is far lower than that of green leafy vegetables. Therefore, the statement that "all kinds of vegetables are unique to Chinese cabbage" is somewhat one-sided. Different vegetables have their own advantages, and eating together is more in line with the principle of balanced nutrition.
