Description

Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which includes broccoli, kale, and cabbage. It derives its name from the Latin word ‘caulis‘ which means cabbage with a flower. The florets on the head of the cauliflower, also known as curd, are tightly clustered and consist of immature flower buds attached to a central stalk. To protect the flavor and softness of the cauliflower heads, they are kept away from sunlight to prevent the development of chlorophyll pigment and over-maturity.

Cauliflower is a potentially rich source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin K, B complex vitamins, and vitamin E. It provides vital minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, sodium, and iron without adding any harmful cholesterol. It contains some protein. It can also provide dietary fiber and may contain smaller amounts of natural sugars as compared to the other members of its botanical relatives, such as broccoli.
