Red ( Purple) Cabbage salad with baby kailan and sweet corn

Red cabbage is a kind of cabbage. It is stronger and tougher than the green cabbage. Red cabbage has ten times more Vitamin A than green cabbage. It also has more Vitamin C and iron than the green cabbage.
When cooked, the red cabbage may turn blue. The color change does not affect the taste or nutrition.  Adding a little vinegar or some acidic vegetable or fruit will preserve the Purple colour even when cooked. The Red  cabbage will keep longer than green cabbage. This cabbage gives a lovely color to any dish.

Sometimes, a piece of paper soaked in red  cabbage juice can be used as a pH indicator. In neutral solutions it will turn into purple. In alkaline solutions it will show blue, green or yellow. Substance called  anthocyanin in found in red cabbage juice which enables it to react differently to acids and alkalies.

Today I am going to prepare a salad with red cabbage which not only looks colorful but also tasty and nutritious.
