1. Ancient Westerners discovered that eating cauliflower regularly can soothe the throat, clear the voice, moisten the lungs, and relieve coughs. Therefore, they called cauliflower "a gift from heaven" and "the poor man's doctor."
2. Eating cauliflower regularly can enhance the liver's detoxification ability and improve the body's immunity, preventing colds and scurvy.
3. According to a report from AFP, a British study to be released today points out that eating certain fruits and vegetables may enhance memory, especially cauliflower.
4. Cauliflower is one of the foods richest in flavonoids. Besides preventing infections, flavonoids are the best blood vessel cleansers, capable of preventing cholesterol oxidation and stopping platelets from clumping together, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
5. Some people's skin turns blue and purple from minor bumps and injuries because of a lack of vitamin K in the body. The best way to supplement this is to eat more vegetables, especially cauliflower, which also strengthens the blood vessel walls, making them less likely to rupture. Three points to note:
1. Although cauliflower is rich in nutrients, it often has pesticide residues and is prone to cabbage worms. Therefore, before eating, you can soak the cauliflower in light salt water for ten to twenty minutes. This will cause the worms to come out and also remove residual pesticides. This makes it more beneficial for nutrient absorption.
2. Do not overcook it.
3. The recommended serving of cauliflower is 70 grams per person per meal.
