Meet my new favorite light dish to complement a hearty winter spread. I totally predicted cauliflower to the become the new “it” vegetable and it appears I’m not the only one who projected this trend (See: Cauliflower is the new Kale on huffingtonpost). Though mild in taste, it’s the perfect versatile veggie and vehicle for flavor.
Cruciferous veggies take center stage when it comes to supporting the body’s natural detoxification systems and cauliflower is no exception. Their phytonutrients help to activate enzymes in the pathway that help rid unwanted toxins while their array of antioxidants combat the aging and stress of our cells.
