FLOWER POWER:

The cauliflower clan is chock full of flavor and benefits (ANN LOVEJOY, 5/23/07, THE P-I)

Relatively low in carbs and high in fiber, the cauliflower family also contains health-promoting, cancer-fighting phytonutrients. The cauliflower clan -- members of the cabbage family -- offers almost 2 grams of protein per cup, for around 20 calories (and almost no fat).

So why don't we eat this stuff every day? Mostly because we don't know to cook it well. [...]
