The cauliflower is "loaded with vitamin C, this cruciferous cousin to broccoli was once revered by a French king.
First prized by the court of King Louis XIV, cauliflower provides a royal health boost to everyone's diet. This versatile veggie is not only low in calories, it's also full of vitamins and minerals. One cup of raw cauliflower is high in the antioxidant vitamin C -- required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body, and necessary for the formation of the important protein collagen, used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.
Cauliflower also offers a healthy dose of potassium, fiber, and folic acid and contains a sulfur compound called isothiocyanate that protects health and prevents disease. Not all cauliflower is white. You can find green and orange varieties of this cruciferous (named for the cross-shaped flowers) cousin of broccoli and Brussels sprouts. The difference is in the amount (or absence) of chlorophyll present during the vegetable's growth.

Ooo... I want to try this, I have seen the versatility of cauliflower and this one sounds really interesting xox
I can't get on with cauliflower, sorry. Although I will try it, thanks Jan.
What a different way to eat cauliflower! It is one of my favourite vegetables and I like using it in different dishes.
Have a wonderful week Jan and yes it is getting rather warm here. We shouldn't complain though as it not long now until Autumn :)
It's rather strange I know but I love vegetables except for the cruciform family. On the other hand we make an unbeatable broccoli and lentil soup that is quickly devoured.
I find cauliflower is not so popular these days.
I love it but think most people now tend to go for broccoli.
The recipe is one I will try....love couscous and cauliflower.....its a winner for me :)
This looks and sounds delicious!! Cauliflower is finally getting the credit it deserves!!
We enjoy cauliflower, here. But not over-cooked, like some recipes call for.
Cauliflower is a favorite of my husband, Jan. We would love this recipe, I'm sure. Thank you for another healthy side dish. ♥
I've been wanted to try cauliflower couscous. You've just convinced me to! I'm pinning this, and will give it a try.
