The cabbage is a popular cultivar of a the species Brassica oleracea Linne (Capitata Group) of the Family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), and is used as a leafy green vegetable. It is a herbaceous, biennial, dicotyledonous flowering plant distinguished by a short stem upon which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties red or purplish, which while immature form a characteristic compact, globular cluster ( cabbagehead). The plant is also called head cabbage or heading cabbage, and in Scotland a bowkail, from its rounded shape. The Scots call its stalk a castock,[1] and the English call its head a loaf[citation needed]. It is in the same genus as the turnip - Brasssica rapa L. Cabbage leaves often display a delicate, powdery, waxy coating called bloom. The sharp or bitter taste sometimes present in cabbage is due to glucosinolate(s). Cabbages are also a good source of Riboflavin. The cultivated cabbage is derived from a leafy plant called the wild mustard plant, native to the Mediterranean region, where it is common along the seacoast. Also called sea cabbage and wild cabbage, [2] it was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans; Cato the Elder praised this vegetable for its medicinal properties, declaring that "It is the cabbage which surpasses all other vegetables." [3] The English name derives from the Normanno-Picard caboche (head), perhaps from boche (swelling, bump). Cabbage was developed by ongoing artificial selection for suppression of the internode length.

1. The Best Group of Foods for Cardiovascular Health
July 02, 2009
Nutritionists say that the best foods for preventing and fighting cancer are the cruciferous vegetables or cabbage family vegetables which include cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale and collard greens.. Cancer is the second leading cause of death of Americans. The best food group for helping with cardiovascular problems is berries. The botanical definition of a berry is a simple fruit produced from a single ovary, such as a tomato. In everyday English, this means a berry is a term for any small edible fruit. I will use the everyday meaning. Heart attacks and strokes ar... (read more)

2. Weight Loss Motivation
June 22, 2009
Have you ever met a woman who felt that she had finally achieved the perfect weight? Well, I haven’t, and I bet you probably haven’t either. In fact, I’d bet a buck that you’ve wanted to take some weight off yourself.
Unfortunately, you feel the urge to feel the burn at the moment of impossibility—a couple of weeks before a big wedding, a class reunion, or a summer vacation. Desperate for immediate fat loss results, you try the cabbage diet—the Alcatraz diet, a diet that bears no resemblance to how civilized people actually eat—and you burn yourself out at the gym in the first 5 minutes o...

4. 4 Steps To Reprogram The Subconscious Mind
June 14, 2009
Your subconscious mind is hiding in the cabbage patch of your cerebral mind, and the reason that it is hiding is the same reason the governments of the world are hiding the nuclear weapons of mass destruction all over the world. This is because, as unbelievable as this may sound, your subconscious is a massive weapon of mass destruction. It will be able to destroy your addictions, your phobias, your fears, your character defects and can give you the potential to do almost anything that you can put your mind to.

7. A cocktail of fascinators
June 01, 2009
Ever since Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out in that towering green Philip Treacy cocktail hat, the fashion world has nurtured a love affair with fascinators. SJP's mini hattie was adorned with butterfies, feathers and what looked like a "cabbage" and seemed to carry on forever upwards, like the famous beanstalk! However, there's no denying that those cute as a button cocktail hats, with an alluring veil, vamp up an ordinary black dress and transform it into a "vintage style" LBD. This brings me onto the topic of vintage style ladies, such as Dita Von Tease, who's "look" is remeniscent of th... (read more)

8. The cabbage soup diet - Fact or Fad
May 29, 2009
The cabbage soup diet is a carb-burning soup diet that became popular around the 1980s when it was broadly disseminated by fax machine. To this day, no-one has claimed responsibility for creating this diet based on cabbage soup– now universally known as The Cabbage Soup Diet. It is simply as its name says – a diet in which you eat (pretty much nothing but) cabbage soup.
The Cabbage Soup Diet is considered a FAD diet by the majority of reviewers and commentators, and has gained popularity because it is effective in helping to lose a few quick pounds by eating/drinking cabbage soup only. B... (read more)

12. You Can Become A Good Chef
April 24, 2009
Being a chef is a very physical profession. You are required to remain on your feet almost constantly. Along with that, you must also be stirring, kneading, and chopping your foods.
Many times, you will have to do all of this while also having to ordering foods for hungry customers and critical customers.
A kitchen is almost scorching hot year round so you should be quite prepared for that. Even in the best conditioned areas, a kitchen is often as hot as 95 degrees or higher.
If that doesn't sound like enough to do, try doing it while you are also maintaining all of the rest ... (read more)

13. Walnuts Has Many Benefits
April 24, 2009
It's true that nuts are high in calories, but they have extraordinary health benefits and are an important addition to your diet. Here's a simple fact: Eating a handful of nuts about five times a week will reduce your chances of having a heart attack by at least 15 percent and possibly as much as 51 percent. That's how powerful nuts are.
Nutritionists are now rediscovering these little nutritional goldmines. I can safely say that nuts are going to play an important role in boosting our health levels during this century. It's a simple, if astounding, fact: people who eat nuts regularly ca... (read more)

14. Tomatoes And The Benefits
April 24, 2009
The tomato was considered a poisonous food once upon a time. Fortunately for us it regained its popularity in the late nineteenth century.
Lycopene, a member of the carotenoid family and a pigment that contributes to the colour of tomatoes, is a major contributor to their health promoting power. Lycopene has demonstrated a range of unique and distinct biological properties that have intrigued scientists. Some researchers have come to believe that lycopene could be as powerful an antioxidant as beta-carotene. We do know that lycopene is the most efficient quencher of the free-radical sing...

15. The Wonders Of Wheat
April 24, 2009
Wheat is one of our oldest harvested grains, first cultivated over five thousand years ago. Wheat germ is the embryo of the wheat berry (a wheat kernel that hasn't been heated, milled, or polished), and it's loaded with nutrition. Two tablespoons, at only 52 calories, have 4 grams of protein, 2 grams of fibre, 41 micrograms of folate, a third of the RDA (recommended daily allowance) of vitamin E, along with high levels of thiamine, manganese, selenium, vitamin B6, and potassium together with reasonable levels of iron and zinc. Wheat germ, like flaxseed, is also one of the few sources of plant-... (read more)

16. The Wonderful Fruit Of Kiwi
April 24, 2009
The nouvelle cuisine movement of the 1970's did a great deal to popularize kiwis in the US and today California provides 95 percent of the US crop. Now kiwis, or kiwifruit, are popular the world over and deservedly so as their pale green and delicious flesh, reminiscent of strawberries to some and pineapple to others, offers a potent mix of nutrients that elevate it to the status of a Superfood.
While many fruits feature one or two nutrients in their profile, kiwi offers an unusual array of health-promoting substances. Extremely rich in vitamin C, kiwi also offers folate, potassium, fibre... (read more)

17. The Up And Down Side Of Crockpot Cooking
April 24, 2009
In my 'un-biased' opinion, the crockpot / slow cooker is one of the most convenient and easy to use appliances in my kitchen. The time savings features of the slow cooker and the delicious dinners that have resulted more than offset any minor drawbacks.
Before I list my top reasons why the crockpot is the most useful appliance in any kitchen, I will list a few of the areas where it does not perform as well.
- Large cuts of meat such as boneless prime rib or leg of lamb are still best when oven roasted.
- Except for stews and chowders, the slow cooker does not cook fish very w... (read more)

18. The Superfood Blueberries
April 24, 2009
For many years nutritionists and researchers ignored the tiny blueberry because of its relatively low vitamin C content. However, what these people didn't know was that the healthful benefits of blueberries stem mainly from their incredibly high levels of antioxidant phytonutrients.
Phytonutrients are non-vitamin, non-mineral components of food that have significant health benefits. There are literally thousands of different types of phytonutrients, and each phytonutrient is unique in both its physical characteristics and its function. Research has shown that phytonutrients help the bod... (read more)

19. The Confusion About Whole Wheat Bread

I'm going to list here, the 7 most common whole wheat bread baking mistakes that you're probably making, or might make if you're not forewarned, and what you can do about them.
Whole Wheat Bread Baking Mistake 1
By far the most common bread baking mistake is when the salt is forgotten to be added to the whole wheat bread dough.
This results in very bland bread, and even effects the rising of the dough. Making your whole wheat bread flat on top.
The best solution for this is ... (read more)

20. The Benefits Of Eating Broccoli
April 24, 2009
In 1992 a researcher at Johns Hopkins University announced the discovery of a compound found in broccoli that not only prevented the development of tumors by 60 percent in the studied group, but it also reduced the size of tumors that did develop by 75 percent. Broccoli is now one of the best-selling vegetables in North America. And, as a bonus, there are only 30 calories in one cup of broccoli.
Indeed, broccoli and its cruciferous sidekicks are among the most powerful weapons in our dietary arsenal against cancer. This alone is enough to elevate it to the status of a Superfood. But, add... (read more)

21. The Benefits Of Drinking Tea
April 24, 2009
There's solid evidence that tea consumption is associated with a lowered risk of heart disease and stroke. The connection was noticed when the arteries of Chinese-American tea drinkers were compared with the arteries of Caucasian coffee drinkers. The tea drinkers only had two-thirds as much coronary artery damage and only one-third as much cerebral artery damage upon autopsy compared with the coffee drinkers.
Another study found that in males, deaths from coronary artery disease were reduced by 40 percent among those who drank one or more cups of tea daily, and another study from Harvard... (read more)

22. Taking Step To Prepare A Lobster

Lobster, once the food of poor farmers, is now considered a special treat for many.

A great meal of lobster tails might seem like a gourmet feast to your guests, but they are actually quite easy to prepare. Add a little sprig of garnish and a fancy side dish and you're sure to impress even your mother in law.

23. Superfood - Apples And Avocados
April 24, 2009
Apples are a powerful source of antioxidants, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamin C, as well as good source of fibre, and potassium. Lucky for us, there are only 47 calories in an average sized apple. The secret behind the super antioxidant capacity of the apple is its skin. The apple skin alone provides two to six times the antioxidant activity of the apple flesh alone. Therefore it's important to eat the skin as well so you obtain the full health benefits.
There are a variety of apples, and each of these have their own unique skin colour. Along with these differences in skin ... (read more)

24. The Benefits Of Soy Bean Lecithin
April 24, 2009
“Soy bean is good for the health.” We’ve all heard this line before, spoken like a mantra, and with good reason because there is more to soy beans than just being a good source of protein. Soy beans contain isoflavones, gensitein, daidzen, and a generous amount of antioxidants. All these substances contribute the bean’s health-promoting goodness.
There is, however, one compound found soy bean that is generating much interest from the scientific and medical circles. That compound is soy bean lecithin, or if you prefer, phosphatidylcholine (PC). It is a kind of lipid that is found in all c... (read more)
