What are the benefits of eating cauliflower in spring?
The nutritional value of cauliflower is very high, especially the green cauliflower, commonly known as broccoli. Cauliflower is low in calories, high in dietary fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals. Cauliflower contains a special sulforaphane, which is a natural anticancer substance. It can kill Helicobacter pylori in the intestine, and the effect is better than that of antibiotics, which is very helpful for preventing intestinal cancer. Moreover, sulforaphane can inhibit the formation of malignant tumors such as breast cancer. Chinese medicine believes that cauliflower has the functions of "nourishing brain marrow, benefiting viscera, opening chest and diaphragm, benefiting heart and strengthening bones and muscles".
