Time to try....Cauliflower!

Cauliflower, once an overlooked cruciferous vegetable, is now in the spotlight. Educators will deliver cauliflower for students to try this month! This versatile vegetable is fat free, low in calories and carbohydrates, high in Vitamin C and a good source of folate! In addition to folate, cauliflower also provides moderate amounts of Vitamin B5 and B6, Vitamin K, and Potassium. Did you know that cauliflower can come in various colors? Although white is the most common type of cauliflower, it also comes in orange, purple and green variations! Cauliflower is surprisingly, nutritiously dense and can be used in a variety of ways.

From “Caulipower” Pizzas and baking mixes to cauliflower rice, cauliflower is winning the hearts of everyone. It is often used as a substitute for bread or rice because it adapts to any taste. Cauliflower can also be eaten on its own and is delicious when roasted with olive oil and herbs, then lightly tossed with Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar.
