A Flower By Any Other Name Could Be A Vegetable - These flowers looked so good just hanging out at the market.

The noble cauliflower found it’s way to France from Genoa in the 1600’s. It did not show up in aristocratic circles until Louis XIV.


Cauliflowers come in many varieties and colors although these are the most commonly seen. Being low in fat and carbohydrates and high in fiber, folates, water and vitamin C means they are super healthy. They can be roasted, steamed, boiled, fried, and eaten raw. (The central white core is delicious raw).


Cauliflower


Being low in fat and carbohydrates also means they can be used as a substitute for mashed potatoes in a low-carb diet. The taste and look like potatoes but don't have the starch.

Hi Tony - Seriously? Those things are edible? I tasted one once and it was awful. And they're don't even make pretty garnishes.

Hi Toni: I agree with Jeanne & Ralph.  There's an Indian dish called "buni gobi" that uses cauliflower, and I really enjoy it.  It's also good covered with melted cheddar cheese (although probably not as healthy!).  Thanks for sharing!  :)

Bud & Beth - I'll post the recipe later tonight. Just got back in town.

Sharon - me too. Mashed is great.

Jeanne - that does sound good!

Li - you're right; they are good for us.

Dick - everyone is entitled to like or dislike whatever they choose ;)

Andrew - covered with cheese probably isn't as healthy but still really good!

Tony - I'm with you; and raw is wonderful especially dipped in a great sauce.

John - that does sound good. I'll have to try it.

Roger - me too!

Kathy - well, see my answer to Dick above :)

Tanja - I'll post the best recipe I found.

Toni, interest history about cauliflowers.  I've always liked them, but not sure I can substitute for mashed potatoes

Toni,

Love them also and I also love them in all their glorious colors.  My favorite way is to salt them coat them in olive oil and garlic,  then stick them in a hot 450 degree oven, till they start carmelizing.  Happy Tuesday. A

Your on to something, Toni!  Just today I had to think for an instance to remember if avocados were a fruit or a vegetable.  Of course vegetables don't grow on trees:-)  Some foods make the mind bend a bit.

Yum yum. It's very healthy indeed. A must add food on every diet. Thanks for the reminder. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Toni, A blog should inform, educate, entertain or add value in some way to other's lives. You do this in spades.
