What are the health benefits of cauliflower?
Cauliflower is a magical veggie. It is very low in calories and loaded with benefits. In fact, cauliflower contains almost every vitamin and mineral you need. On top of that, it’s high in fiber, a great source of antioxidants, it’s high in choline (an essential nutrient that many people are deficient in), and to top it off, it’s so easy to add into your diet. Cauliflower is great raw, with a dip like hummus, steamed, thrown into a recipe, there’s so much you can do with it! Including making this delicious vegan mashed cauliflower recipe.
