Notes
Given that cabbages, like other plants (e.g. fruits), don't have water content, you will need a powerful machine to extract all the juice out of it. If you use a blender, which most people do, you will have to add water. Another way in which cabbage juice can be beneficial for gut health is by fermenting it. By doing so, it is turned into a probiotic.
