Cauliflower
Just one cup of this white, cool-season vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C (90% of the DV), folate (13% of the DV), and dietary fiber (13% of the DV). That same amount of cauliflower also serves as a good source of vitamin B5, vitamin B6, manganese and omega-3 fatty acids. Its phytochemical antioxidant content only adds to its nutritional value.
Cauliflower Health Benefits
Like the rest of the cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower is known to have very powerful cancer fighting properties. The phytochemicals found in the vegetable are known to enhance the activity of our body’s natural defence system, thus helping us detoxify more quickly and more effectively from the possible cancer causing agents.
