Cauliflower Revisited

When I was a kid I despised cauliflower. My mom didn't make it often but, when she did, I tried every strategy a kid could to get out of eating it, mostly making the most horrible gagging sound at the table to make my parents think I was going to throw up. I had strict parents. They saw right through it.  So I choked it down.
As an adult I continued to avoid cauliflower until I found my passion for natural nutrition and realized that there were more ways to prepare it other than boiling it (as my mom did) or steaming it.

When it comes to nutrients, cauliflower packs a powerful punch. As part of the cruciferous vegetable family, it offers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help protect against inflammation and many diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancers. One cup of raw cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin K (476% of your daily recommended intake!), and vitamin C. It is also a great source of fiber, potassium, phosphorus and B vitamins. Like all cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower is also an excellent source of sulfur, making it supportive for our body's natural liver detoxification processes.
​
If you have shunned cauliflower like I have in the past, I am excited to help you rediscover this nutritional superstar with three delicious recipes:

Try my decadent Chocolate Cauliflower Shake, a great way to start the day!
