Wednesday, February 17, is National Cabbage Day!
Cabbage is a filling, versatile vegetable. The St. Louis Area Foodbank distributed around 500,000 lbs. of fresh cabbage last year to families in need. Cabbage contains nutrients that help support digestion and heart health – a perfect vegetable to eat during Heart Month!
