\"cauliflower\"<\/div>\n

When I was growing up, I would only eat cauliflower if it was smothered in Campbell\u2019s Cheddar Cheese soup. As I continue to hear and read more, I am learning that this beautiful vegetable can actually taste delicious all on its own, without requiring cheese topping! In addition, cauliflower is really good for you…it\u2019s a cruciferous vegetable, like its cousins kale and broccoli. It\u2019s packed with fiber \u2013 over 9 grams in every 100 calories \u2013 so it\u2019s helpful for your digestive system. And not to get too technical, but research investigating inflammation related health issues have found that vitamin K, and glucosinolates \/ isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetables, could provide benefits by reducing inflammation in the body.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower is also very versatile, and you can eat it raw (the little florette makes it perfect for dipping \u2013 okay I still like it with a little cheese now and then!) or it can be made into hummus, pizza crust, soup or roasted\/sauted by itself \u2013 there are so many opportunities for fitting cauliflower into your diet. Check out our pinterest page<\/a> for recipes using cauliflower! Its fairly neutral taste makes it a great option for mixing with different spices to completely change its taste. For example, you can actually turn cauliflower into an anti-inflammatory approved \u201crice\u201d and depending on the seasonings you choose, you can add an Asian seasoning mix to make it taste like it is coming from your favorite Chinese restaurant, or you can add cinnamon or stevia for a sweeter option. \u00a0Whatever way you like cauliflower, it\u2019s certainly not your garden variety \u201cflower\u201d.<\/p>\n
