Nutritional Benefits of Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a powerhouse when it comes to nutrition. Get the details here.

Cauliflower has come a loooong way from the days of just chucking it in a mixed salad. It now shows off in everything from fried rice to cauliflower steaks (yes, it’s actually a thing). The good — no, great — news is that it’s good for you. Like, one of the healthiest foods you can enjoy.

Cauliflower has tons of glucosinolates, which contain sulfur. Glucosinlates help almost every system in the body, including cardiovascular and digestive.

Gluscosinolates and antioxidants work hand in hand. Cauliflower has super high levels of Vitamin C and Magnesium, which helps with your metabolism.

There’s more good news. Studies have shown cauliflower decreases the risk of colon and prostate cancers, obesity and heart problems.

That makes you want to dish up some cauliflower, doesn’t it? Mmmmhmm. Stay tuned because we have some great cauliflower recipes for you.

Amy had no clue how to cook until she became the food reporter for a daily newspaper in Minnesota. At 25, she even struggled with boxed mac and cheese. These days, Amy is a much better cook, thanks to interviewing cooks and chefs for more than 10 years. She even makes four cheese macaroni and cheese with bacon, no boxed mac in sight. Amy is also on the editorial team at The Cookful.
