The Red Cabbage is a sort of cabbage, also known as Rotkraut or Blaukraut after preparation. Its leaves are coloured dark red/purple. However, the plant changes its colour according to the pH value of the soil, due to a pigment called anthocyanin.
Red cabbage is often used for salads and cole slaw. This vegetable can be eaten raw or cooked. It is also used to determine if a substance is an acid or a base by boiling it in water and using the water as a pH indicator.
