Our Verdict
When comparing celeriac to red cabbage, we picked the celeriac.
Why?
In terms of macros, there’s really nothing between them; they have almost identical numbers for fiber, carbs, and protein, so this first round’s a tie.
In the category of vitamins, celeriac has more of vitamins B3, B5, E, and K, while red cabbage has more of vitamins A, B9, and C, yielding a modest win to celeriac here.
Looking at minerals, celeriac has more copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while red cabbage has more iron and manganese, for a 6:2 win to celeriac in this round.
In other considerations, celeriac has more polyphenols, with, for example, 24x more apigenin than red cabbage. So, that’s another point in celeriac’s favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for celeriac, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
