I didn’t know how awesome cabbage was until I made this juice and did a little research.  The cabbage family includes: broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, Chinese cabbage, savoy cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi.  I knew broccoli was good…and Brussels sprouts of course…but just plain cabbage?
