- Abstract
The paper characterises selected vegetable species of the Brassica genus: white headed cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. alba), savoy cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. sabauda L.), napa cabbage ((Brassica rapa L. subsp. pekinensis), broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica), kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. sabellica L.), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis), kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes L.), Brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea L. var. gemmifera). It describes their medicinal properties and economic importance, as well as presents their value as a resource for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Brassicas are characterised by high vitamin and mineral content and have various medicinal properties. They also have a high nutritional value, high antioxidative activity and health benefits. From the point of view of nutrition, brassicas are perceived as valuable in cancer prevention. It is noteworthy that kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes L.) is characterised by significant nutritional and health benefits, yet it is not popular in Poland.
