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.
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.
