[edit] About Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a nutritious vegetable, belonging to the same family as broccoli, kale and cabbage. Cauliflower consists of a white curd-like head surrounded by large green leaves that are often removed and used to make soups and stocks or discarded.

Cauliflower which has a delicate, sweet nutty flavor, is low in calories and provides an excellent source of Vitamin C, and a good source of dietary fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, minerals such as manganese, potassium and phosphorus, and vitamins K, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.

Cauliflower is best eaten cooked, but should only be cooked lightly (blanched or sauteed) to retain crispness and prevent the odorous sulphur compounds from escaping.
