What to know about cabbage

Cabbage is a low-trigger crucifer: low in histamine when fresh, gluten free and clean on nickel and sulfites, with only mild-to-moderate salicylate and oxalate. Its two real caveats are gut related and fermentation related. Raw cabbage in quantity is a moderate FODMAP (fructans and polyols) that can cause gas and bloating, though cooking makes it gentler, and fermented cabbage, meaning sauerkraut and kimchi, is a completely different story: fermentation turns a low-histamine vegetable into a high-histamine food.

Watch for

  • Sauerkraut and other fermented cabbage are high in histamine, so if fresh cabbage is fine but sauerkraut gives you flushing or headaches, fermentation is the reason
  • Moderate FODMAP raw, from fructans and polyols, so a big bowl of coleslaw bloats sensitive guts more than a cooked portion does
  • Cooking helps: boiled, steamed or sauteed cabbage is easier on the gut than raw, and smaller servings keep the FODMAP load down
  • Mild-to-moderate salicylates and oxalates, low enough for most people but worth noting if you are strictly limiting either
