Nutrition Facts
Cauliflower is high in plant nutrients called glucosinolates, which are converted by the healthy bacteria in your digestive system into compounds called isothiocyanates and indole-3-carbinol. These compounds help support your body’s natural detoxification system, which rids your body of the chemicals and pollutants that you may absorb from the environment. This detoxification helps to reduce cancer risk.
One cup of raw cauliflower has only 27 calories, is a good source of fibre and provides 86% of the vitamin C most people need in a day. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that also plays an important role in wound healing.
Cauliflower is also a good source of vitamin K. Vitamin K helps your blood clot and enables calcium to build bone. Getting enough vitamin K can help lower your risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
