Cauliflower is loaded with nutrients that seem to wage war against a host of diseases, including cancer. It’s also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals that are essential for keeping the immune system strong. In fact, cauliflower is one of the most powerful healing foods you can buy. How come? Researchers have found two potent munitions in cauliflower’s cancer fighting arsenal: the phytonutrients sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, or 13C. People who eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, broccoflower and cauliflower are protected against cancers of the colon, breast and prostate likely because of these compounds. So include this disease fighting vegetable in your diet or better yet, make my tasty Wasabi Cauliflower... recipe coming soon!
