Cabbage
(Brassica Oleracea L.)
Cabbage

Cabbage is native to Europe. There is evidence that the Celts, Greeks and Romans already consumed it and the latter used it for intestinal and pulmonary problems and to increase milk in nursing mothers. There is also evidence that the discoverers took it to America to plant their vegetables and legumes. What is not known is if it already existed, because in American lands there was a genus called quelites, which included a lot of wild vegetables that the Indians consumed.

Brussels sprouts are native to northern Europe, specifically northern France and Belgium, hence its name for Brussels, the capital of Belgium. They need a cold and humid climate to be cultivated. The countries that consume them the most are: France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Cabbage belongs to the Cruciferae family and is grown in fields. There are many species of this genus, but from the same family we have Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. They need temperate climates. All of them contain sulfur, which is a powerful antioxidant.
