It is a fleshy head that is surrounded by thick green leaves, which, although they are edible, are normally discarded at the time of preparation. It is considered a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin B5 and a little less B1, B2 and B3, as well as potassium and phosphorus. It can be steamed, fried, savory, cooked, in soups and salads, it is a very versatile food and little recommended for people with severe digestive problems because the excess sulfur it contains and is released when cooking can cause flatulence, although it is a of the cabbages that are easier to digest, it should always be eaten cooked.
