cauliflower


I have always assumed that because cauliflower was white, it was low in nutrients. Well, I was wrong! Cauliflower is a powerhouse of good, cancer fighting stuff. It is full of vitamin C, folate and even Indole-3-carbinol (slows the growth of cancer cells and helps repair damaged DNA).

If you want to hear an an amazing talk about food and cancer, listen to this TED talk. It is sorta mind blowing actually. We have so much power in regards to our heath.

A few months ago Whole Living magazine had a great set of cauliflower recipes. You can read them here.

And you can always just eat it raw. Most kids love it, too!
