White cabbage: nutrition per 100 g and example portion

Reference preparation: raw white cabbage. The exact source name is “White cabbage” (Fineli food 320). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.

Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh white cabbage

Weigh edible shredded cabbage after removing the core and damaged leaves. This reference is plain white cabbage, rather than sauerkraut, kimchi or coleslaw. Fermented and dressed products need their own label or recipe.

Calculate your own white cabbage portion

For the 150 g example, multiply the source amounts by 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5. The unrounded energy calculation is 31.4 × 1.5 = 47.1 kcal, displayed as approximately 47 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.

For another amount, replace 150 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as raw white cabbage; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.

How preparation changes the estimate

Mayonnaise and oil can dominate the nutrition of coleslaw. For cooked cabbage, water loss and added fat affect values per 100 g. A large cabbage-and-meat casserole should include rice, meat, syrup and other additions in the batch total.

Meal ideas using white cabbage

Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.

  • Make a cabbage slaw with chickpeas, apple and a measured dressing.
  • Add cabbage to a tofu stir-fry served with rice.
