Nutrition Fact:
Cauliflower:
is a vegetable belonging to the Brassica oleracea species, which also includes cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli and collard greens. The vegetable originated in the Northeast Mediterranean and is presently cultivated in most of the countries of the world. It has a white head and stalk and is surrounded by thick, green leaves. However, the stalk and the leaves are discarded and only the head (white curd) is eaten. Cauliflower can be had in the raw, cooked or pickled form, though it the raw form that holds the highest nutritional value.
Below is complete information on the health and nutrition benefits of eating cauliflower.
Tip of the Month
Do not go to a party hungry: eat a sensible, nutrition packed breakfast and lunch on the day to avoid overeating at the party.
Watch your portion: Go for small bite size portions of everything. This way you can sample all the different foods. Moderation is always the key.
Make a conscious choice to limit high fat and sodium items: these items are in fried food, dairy cream-based soups, cheese-filled casseroles, pies, and processed meats (salami, sausages, and most lunchmeats), some pastries and baked goods.
Limit alcohol: calories from alcohol tend to be stored in the abdomen. People who are overweight actually gain weight more easily when they consume alcohol.
Drink plenty of water: drink water all day long to keep your body hydrated. Alcohol and coffee can dehydrate your body.
Physical activity: take nice brisk walks with your loved ones and enjoy their company in the holiday season.
