Repollo Nutrition (Cabbage) at a glance

Prepared by Macro & Meals Editorial TeamLast reviewed June 2026Evidence-based, plain-language guidance

Repollo is the Spanish word for cabbage, and it is one of the most budget friendly, nutrient dense vegetables you can put on a plate. These values are the USDA FoodData Central figures for raw green cabbage.

Per 100 grams raw, repollo carries just 25 calories, 5.8 grams of carbohydrate, 2.5 grams of fiber, and barely any fat. It is over 90 percent water, which is why it adds so much volume and crunch to a meal for almost no calories. It is also a strong source of vitamin C and vitamin K, both shown in the facts panel below.

Raw, cooked, and serving size

Because repollo is so low in calories, it is one of the easiest ways to make a meal larger and more filling without changing the calorie total much. A full cup of shredded cabbage is only about 18 calories, yet it delivers a meaningful share of your daily vitamin C and vitamin K.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in repollo (cabbage)?

Raw green cabbage has just 25 calories per 100 grams. A cup of shredded cabbage is only about 18 calories, which makes it one of the most calorie efficient vegetables you can eat.

Is repollo good for weight loss?

Yes. It is very low in calories, high in water, and provides fiber that helps you feel full, so it adds bulk and crunch to meals without adding meaningful calories. It works well as a base for salads and slaws.

How much fiber and vitamin C does cabbage have?

Repollo gives about 2.5 grams of fiber and 36.6 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams, which is roughly 40 percent of the daily value for vitamin C. It is also high in vitamin K at around 76 micrograms.

Does cooking cabbage change the nutrition?

The calories stay about the same at 25 per 100 grams. Cooking can lower heat sensitive vitamin C a little, while steaming or quick cooking keeps most nutrients intact. Fermenting it into sauerkraut preserves vitamin C and adds probiotics.
