What Do 25 Calories or 100 Grams of Cabbage Look Like?
The picture above represents 100 grams of cabbage, which provides only about 25 calories. This makes cabbage a very light and filling food, thanks to its high water and fiber content. Its calories mainly come from carbohydrates, with very small amounts of protein and virtually no fat.
A typical cabbage head can weigh between 800 grams and 1.5 kilograms, meaning even a large portion adds relatively few calories to your diet. Depending on the variety and freshness, the calorie content may vary slightly.

| Glycemic load ⓘ Glycemic Load (GL) is a metric that measures both the quality (Glycemic Index) and quantity of carbohydrates in a specific serving of food to estimate its impact on blood sugar levels. It is calculated as: (GI × Carbs in grams) / 100. | N/A |
| Net carbs ⓘ Net Carbs = Total Carbohydrates – Fiber – Sugar Alcohols | 3 g |
| Default serving size ⓘ Serving sizes are mostly taken from FDA's Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) | 1 cup, shredded (70 g) |
| Acidity (Based on PRAL) ⓘ PRAL (Potential renal acid load) is calculated using a formula. On the PRAL scale the higher the positive value, the more is the acidifying effect on the body. The lower the negative value, the higher the alkalinity of the food. 0 is neutral. | -2.8 (alkaline) |
