Background. Green cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a highly nutritious vegetable, offering a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. While it does contain some anti-nutrients,
such as goitrogens and oxalates, these compounds generally pose a minimal risk when the vegetable is
eaten as part of a balanced diet and consumed in normal amounts. Assessing the content of minerals,
vitamin C, β-carotene and anti-nutrient content of green cabbage originating from the Kosovo region was
the aim of this study.
Results and conclusions. The majority of nutritional indicators had an inverse or no link with antinutrients, according to Pearson correlation data. Significantly positive correlations were found between
crude protein and carbohydrates (0.90**), while cyanogenic glycosides (-0.90**) indicated a negative
Pearson correlation data. Moreover, cyanogenic glycosides exhibited significant negative relationships
with carbohydrates (-0.44*), calcium (-0.66**) and potassium (-0.63**). The vitamins content did not
significantly correlate with oxalate and tannin, while tannins and phytate did not significantly correlate
with the corresponding mineral content. The results demonstrated the nutrient-dense nature of green cabbage, which may lessen the impact of micronutrient deficits. In addition, the results indicated that green
cabbage has a low fat and anti-nutrient content, but it is high in potassium, magnesium and calcium content, which are beneficial to human health.
Key words: green cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), minerals, vitamins, anti-nutrients
