I created this recipe on a whim- you know, one of those “How can I get rid of the remaining items in my fridge” recipes. And it turned out to be so delicious and especially aesthetically pleasing. I love purple cabbage because it contains anthocyanins, antioxidants that are great for your skin and have been shown to play a role in

preventing heart disease and cancer. With the addition of the orange peppers, this stir-fry recipe is packed full of vitamin C, another skin-beautifying nutrient.

In addition to this recipe containing antioxidant-rich cabbage and peppers, it also contains the anti-inflammatory superfoods- walnuts, ginger, cilantro and turmeric. Make this aregular part of your diet, and you’ll be fighting inflammation with food on a regular basis. Food is medicine!

Cabbage in general can be difficult to digest (causing excess gas and bloating), but cooking it can help your body break it down better. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
