Cabbage is nutritious and easy to prepare, but it can cause health problems for some people. Here's who should be wary:
1. People with thyroid disorders
-
Cabbage contains goitrin , which can interfere with thyroid function and cause swelling of the gland.
-
Those suffering from goiter or thyroid problems should limit their consumption of cabbage.
-
Tip: Soak the cabbage leaves in salted water for 10-15 minutes, then chop them finely to reduce the goiter before eating.
2. People with a fragile digestive system
