On the Ingredients
- Cabbage is a densely-leafed vegetable closely related to broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. If overcooked, cabbage can become very pungent, but when cooked right, it’s mildly sweet and quite delicious. Cabbage is highly nutritious, high in vitamin C, fiber, and vitamin K.

Paprika is a spice that is made from dried sweet peppers. It is sometimes mixed with spicier varieties of pepper, which contributes to the different flavors and colors of paprika types. For instance, “strong” paprika is spicy and light brown in color, while “rose” or “rozsa” paprika is aromatic, mild, and pale red. The most common type in the US is “noble sweet” paprika, which is the bright red variety.
