Fresh Green Cabbage: NO Chemicals or Plastic Film, Locally Grown, Hand-harvested, with Anticancer Compounds

** Prices may be adjusted based on market prices. Cabbage and squash/pumpkins are sold by weight but each piece may actually weigh more or less than the ordered amount, for which we will adjust your bill. ... A little-known (and often ignored or censored) 1956 research paper by Dr. Garnett Cheney, a professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrated that in a double blind study of 45 inmates at San Quentin Prison in California, 93 percent of the gastric ulcers in prisoners taking cabbage juice concentrates every day were healed after three weeks. Through his pioneering experiments in the 1950’s, Professor Garnett showed that fresh cabbage juice relieved pain and healed both gastric and duodenal ulcers better and faster than standard treatments did. But somehow his work was not widely publicized by the medical industry. Since then, numerous other epidemiological meta-analysis studies as well as Case-control studies have shown that high intake of cabbage and cruciferous vegetables are strongly associated with reducing the risk of gastric (stomach) cancer, yet still few (if any) doctors recommend cabbage juice to their patients suffering from peptic and gastric disorders.

Like other vegetables in the healthy Brassica family (such as broccoli, cauliflower, radish, turnip, kale, arugula, Bok choy and Brussels sprouts), cabbage contains glucosinolates. These sulfur-containing compounds are pre-cursors to biologically active isothiocyanates which have been shown to neutralize carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) and to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. The Sulforaphane content of cabbage is shown to have a pronounced cytotoxic (anticancer) effect against certain lung cancer cell lines. Also, an organic compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells by activating a specific gene that encodes a tumor-suppressing enzyme.

Why Chemical-free Organic Cabbage is Preferred?

We grow our own cabbage (pictured above) without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. According to a review published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, vitamin C is 43% more abundant in organic cabbage than conventionally-grown cabbage. Organic crops are found to generally contain significantly more vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus and significantly less nitrates than conventional crops.

Also, although fresh organic cabbage may have slightly less flavonoids than conventionally-grown cabbages, when fermented into sauerkraut, organic sauerkraut juice contained significantly more total beneficial polyphenols and flavonoids compared to the conventional ones.
