How many can resist buying home this cauliflower?? It's freshness is sure to tempt many families in getting some home while doing their marketing........ off course, not to mention its many nutrient contents!Cauliflower is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, folate, water and vitamin C, possessing a very high nutritional density. As a member of the brassica family, cauliflower shares with broccoli and cabbage several phytochemicals which are beneficial to human health, including sulforaphane, an anti-cancer compound released when cauliflower is chopped or chewed. In addition, the compound indole-3-carbinol, which appears to work as an anti-estrogen, appears to slow or prevent the growth of tumors of the breast and prostrate. A high intake of cauliflower has been found to reduce the risk of aggressive prostrate cancer.
Cauliflower can be eaten raw, boiled, fried or steamed. The most common dish which most families prepare would be the simple stir-fry "Mixed Vegetables with Cauliflower". The other vegetables to include in this dish of mixed vegies are broccoli, green peas, young corn, lotus roots, leek & red carrot - depending very much on the taste-buds of each individual family. Other ingredients to include are mushrooms, chicken meat, prawns or squid - to obtain a more tasty flavor.
Personally, I've seen cauliflower only of white colour but surprisingly I come across an article of orange and purple cauliflower........ wanna see how it looks like????
Guess, some of you might have seen it in other countries, but I haven't seen cauliflower of such color yet....... hoping to see them one day!
