Cauliflower is good for your health

Cauliflower is considered a food – protection shield for cancer of breast, lungs, liver, prostate, colon and pancreas. Its antitumor activity is due to isothiocyanine, which is produced by its association with saliva and activates liver enzymes, which in turn help detoxify the chemicals and those that create the cancer. Also, isothiocyanin in combination with sulforaphane inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells.

Cauliflower is high in Vitamin C which helps boost the immune system, prevent skin aging and help heal wounds.

It is an ideal food for those who want to lose weight because it is extremely low in calories.
