Cauliflower Fun Facts:
 
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that gets lots of love on the Internet but not on the dinner table.  It is often labeled a “superfood” because of its healthy attributes, but it is completely boring both to eat and to look at unless it is cooked creatively.

Here are a few interesting facts about cauliflower.
 
Cauliflower is a descendant of wild cabbage. Today’s cauliflower is a close relative of wild cabbage. It used to look more like collard greens or kale but has evolved over time to look the way it does now.
 
Cauliflower belongs to the family of Cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables are so named because they have flowers with four petals that grow in the shape of a Greek cross.
 
Cooking is harmful to the nutritional content of cauliflower. Prolonged cooking destroys most of cauliflower’s vitamins and is linked with its sometimes bad, sulfur-like smell. Cooking for thirty or more minutes reduces health benefits of cauliflower by 75%.
 
Color of the head comes in different colors. Depending on the variety, cauliflower may come in different colors. The most common variety of cauliflower is white, but it can also be purchased in green, orange, purple, yellow, and brown.
 
Cauliflower reminds you of a tree. The white head of cauliflower looks like a miniature tree on the cross section. It has densely packed curds. The head is usually six inches wide, and large types weigh two to three pounds.
