Cauliflower and your Health

One of the cancer-fighting cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower has fewer nutrients than cabbage and other crucifers but still packs plenty of healing power.

Cauliflower is a good source of antioxidants vitamin C.
Three cauliflower florets supply more vitamin C than a tangerine and folic acid.

Cauliflower also provides two powerful phytonutrients, sulfurophane and indoles.
Sulfurophane spurs production of enzymes that help remove toxins from the body; indoles help reduce harmful levels of estrogen that can lead to breast and prostate cancer.

Many people think that if certain foods are good, a lot is better.
This is not always the case, and high doses of certain food are actually toxic.

Read about the healthy food, research the vitamins and minerals and check with your health care provider if you are unsure about how much to eat and how much may be too much.
