Health Benefits of Cauliflower
Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of plant foods like cauliflower decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and overall mortality while promoting a healthy complexion, increased energy, and overall lower weight.
Eating one cup of raw cauliflower will provide 77% of your vitamin C needs, 20% of vitamin K, 10% or more of vitamin B-6 and folate needs for the day, as well as smaller amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese.
Cauliflower is most commonly found fresh or frozen. When choosing fresh cauliflower, look for a firm head with no dark spots and bright green leaves attached to the stem. Store in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to five days.(source)
