Cooking Tips:
Cauliflower is a variety (Botrytis Group) of Brassica oleracea
in the family Brassicaceae. Cauliflower resembles broccoli, to
which it is closely related, except with very densely packed
white flower buds. Only the head of the cauliflower is eaten, a
part known as the white curd. This stalk is surrounded at the
base by thick, green leaves.
Cauliflower is a source of nutritional vitamins and minerals.
Cauliflower is most commonly eaten cooked, but it may also be
eaten raw or pickled, and is often sold in that form
commercially with pickled onions and pickles (pickled
cucumbers).
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, one
cup of raw cauliflower provides 77% of an adult's DRI of vitamin
C. It is also an important source of protein, thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and
zinc, and a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6,
folate, pantothenic acid, and potassium. This food is low in
saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol (less than 1g per
kg). |
