Healthy for You - Go Crazy for Cauliflower

November 16th 2017

Move over kale, there's a new superfood in town! 

Nutritionists, bloggers and moms have been saying cauliflower is the new kale and for good reason!  Cauliflower is low in calories, low in carbohydrates and high in fiber making it an excellent choice as a starch (rice, potato, and wheat) alternative!



The real reason you should go crazy for cauliflower is for what you can’t see on the label, their phytochemical profile.  Phytochemicals help moderate the damage to your cells. They are involved in numerous body processes and help regulate your body’s ability to detoxify chemicals.  All plant foods have these and cauliflower is considered a powerhouse! 

See what makes cauliflower a step above other veggies.

Choose cauliflower to keep your brain healthy, reduce your cancer risk, unclog your arteries and so much more!
