If cauliflower isn’t on the top of your favorite veggies list, perhaps our Cauliflower Cakes served with our Pumpkin Seed Pesto will help change your mind. Not only is cauliflower part of the power-house cruciferous family of broccoli, kale, cabbage, bok choy, and Brussels sprouts, but also contains sulforaphane? Sulforaphane is a sulphur compound that has been found to kill cancer stem cells. That definitely warrants moving this creamy-white (often purple or slightly orange) vegetable to the the top of my weekly veggie list.
Benefits of Cauliflower:
- Excellent source of vitamin C
- HIgh in fiber and folate
- Anit-Inflammatory
Why we’ve used soaked pumpkin seeds for our pesto…
Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamin K and zinc, helpful in building strong bones and teeth. They also contain high amounts of minerals including copper, iron, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus.
