Did you know cauliflower is one of the world’s healthiest foods? Sure, it’s not as exciting as its cousins: curly kale, broccoli and purple cabbage, but it sure provides a whole wealth of health promoting benefits. One of the most impressive is its excellent source of vitamin K, the hallmark of anti-inflammatory nutrients. Who would have thought that the white veggie your grandma notoriously boiled to buggery and turned into a mushy water-logged mess was so powerful? We were so impressed with this part of the brassica bunch that we decided to shun the traditional method of cooking (soz grandma) and make a modern version of one of our favourite dishes, tabouleh!
