Frequently Asked Questions
Is cauliflower good for weight loss?
While I’m not a weight loss expert, cauliflower is definitely a healthy addition to your diet. It’s low in calories, rich in fibre, has a high water content and contains lots of vitamin A. When combined with a healthy lifestyle and exercise, it’s a great veggie to add to your meal prep routine.
What does this vegetable pair well with?
Cauliflower has a very mild but slightly sweet flavour, so it pairs well with just about anything. You can use cauliflower rice as a low carb substitute for traditional rice and even use cauliflower to make pizza crust. It also tastes great in stir fries and soups!
Is it better steamed or boiled?
The best way to cook cauliflower is to steam it. By boiling it, you risk making it too mushy and it’ll also lose a lot of its nutritional value. Steaming cauliflower is definitely the way to go!
