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.

Vegetables, such as cauliflower, are essential part of any healthy nutrition plan. In combination with lean protein, vegetables are a “must” element in your weight loss program. Their high vitamin, mineral, fiber and phytonutrient content and their low calorie density and low glycemic index make them a miracle, all-natural weight loss remedy that every smart weight loser should take advantage of.
