This plant-based main course is engineered to target cellular senescence (aging "zombie" cells). The core science relies on the synergy between Anthocyanins and Quercetin. Red cabbage is one of the densest sources of Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G). We pair it with red onions and unpeeled apples, potent sources of Quercetin. The Bio-Hack: Cooking cabbage usually destroys the enzyme myrosinase needed to create anti-aging Sulforaphane. This recipe re-introduces the enzyme via a raw mustard seed dressing, maximizing bioavailability. Hemp hearts provide Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) for skin elasticity.
