Now that I have your attention I thought it would be a good time to take a look at why cauliflower is so freakin’ good for you! I love it because it’s so easy to cook and it always fills me up. But knowing it has all these added health benefits makes me like it even more. Check them out:

Health Benefits of Cauliflower

1. Reduces risk of cancer
2. Fights inflammation
3. Decreases risk for heart disease and brain disorders
4. Provides high levels of vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin C and vitamin K)
5. Improves digestion and detoxification
6. Aids in weight loss
7. Helps balance hormones
8. Protects eye health

Cauliflower is rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which lowers oxidative stress and reduces free radicals in the body – molecules that attack our cells and are responsible for things like cancers and other degenerative diseases like stroke or Alzheimer’s disease.

Cauliflower is so versatile! You can mash it & mix it with cheese for gratin; turn it into rice & serve with your favorite curry or Mexican dish; turn it into pizza crust or dip it in egg and almond flour for vegetarian nuggets. There’s so many options!
