"We are dedicated to cruelty-free living through a vegetarian - vegan lifestyle. Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!"
(Red Cabbage) We purchase our red cabbage in either supermarkets or farm stores
(when in season), and we always look for firm heads without discoloration or
imperfections. Red cabbage adds color to salads and cooked recipes.
Red cabbage leaves are colored dark red/purple. However, the plant changes its
color according to the pH value of the soil that it is growing in, due to a
pigment called anthocyanin. In acidic soils, the leaves grow more reddish,
while an alkaline soil they will produce rather greenish-yellow colored
cabbages. This explains the fact that the very same plant is known by different
colors in various regions. When we were children we used the juice of red
cabbage as a home-made pH indicator, turning red in acid and light greenish-blue
in basic solutions. On cooking, red cabbage will normally turn blue. To retain
the red color it is necessary to add vinegar or acidic fruit to the pot.
See the nutritional charts for raw and
cooked red cabbage.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
