So Im low carbing so dontbeant yo add any sugar or fruit to it. Will it take ok just boiled

I grill it with butter, salt and pepper, sometimes add onion or garlic.

Yes I love boiled red cabbage! I like it crunchy so I don't give it long

It can absolutely be boiled, but it's better steamed. Loses less colour that way.

Steam and then pan fry with garlic and butter.

A bit of vinegar never comes amiss.

Yes and if you then want to try a science experiment with your kids afterwards you can use the water as a litmus test, changing colour if you add it to acids and alkaline. You can try lemon juice, wine, washing up liquid, and loads of things around the kitchen obviously under supervision for things like bleach.
