Crazy for Cauliflower

At first I felt embarrassed to say I might be crazy for cauliflower, but then I saw people saying cauliflower is the new kale. Well, I never caught the crazy for kale bug, but I definitely find myself grabbing more cauliflower lately. Two heads a week some weeks!

It took me awhile to get the hang of using cauliflower in different recipes. My early attempts at cauliflower breadsticks and cauliflower mashed potatoes were pretty much failures. Or at least, they didn’t get a repeat chance. Once was enough for those two. A tip for cauliflower “mashed potatoes” for you is to mix some in with regular mashed potatoes. I know that’s a little sneaky, but it’s a great way to get veggies in without totally giving up a classic comfort food.

I started to realize that using cauliflower as only a replacement ingredient in some well common recipes wasn’t the way to go. Cauliflower is easy to enjoy in a many ways. Cauliflower takes on the flavor or the seasonings you use and can be riced, sliced, and roasted. It’s a very versatile veggie and a healthy alternative to white rice and gluten-filled grains. Cauliflower is nutrient dense and filling and can be found creeping into all kinds of grocery store staples, from pizza crust to crackers.

Just 1 cup of fresh cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C and vitamin K, plus a good source of fiber! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has cauliflower on its list of “powerhouse fruits and vegetables.” Now, about the amount of fiber – too much cauliflower can cause stomach issues, like excess gas and bloating. Definitely make sure sure to drink enough water to move it through your system more smoothly. Also, cooking cauliflower can help with digestion.
