The cauliflower craze has hit everyone, and for good reason!

This humble vegetable is not only flavorful with the simplest of added herbs, but it’s super versatile, making it the perfect addition to almost any meal. 

And the health benefits are many. I did a little digging to see what all the fuss was about when I started seeing cauliflower rise in popularity – over the years I’ve used a myriad of ways but I wanted to know more about its health benefits. And what I found out blew me away! Not only is it high in fiber, but it plays host to lots of vitamins such as vitamin C, K, and B-6 plus potassium and calcium. It’s one powerful little cruciferous vegetable! Additionally, it’s been shown to boost cardiovascular health and strengthen bones. And it is used in the prevention of cancer. 

This Mediterranean plant which arrived in Europe in the 15th century comes in a rainbow of colors, which makes it a lot of fun to experiment with. Orange, white, green, and even purple, cauliflower can brighten any dish. 

It’s been said that we need to eat cruciferous vegetables every day for good health, those include not only cauliflower but…cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant, and similar green leaf vegetables. So fill your plates with veggies!

There are SO many ways to use this food. And this blog is going to show you the many ways you can enjoy cauliflower. You’ll never be bored or run out of ideas. Plus it’s a great way to get kids to eat it as well!
